Ingredient Decoder

Moderate Caution

Maltodextrin

A highly processed white powder from corn or wheat. It has a higher Glycemic Index than table sugar (spiking insulin rapidly) and can suppress good gut bacteria.

Dextrose

A simple sugar chemically identical to glucose. It absorbs instantly into the bloodstream, causing rapid energy spikes and crashes. Often used as a filler.

Cottonseed Oil

Derived from cotton crops which are heavily sprayed with pesticides (since cotton is not a food crop). Often contains higher pesticide residues than other oils.

Corn Oil

Highly refined oil rich in Omega-6. Usually derived from GMO corn. Promotes inflammation if consumed in excess.

Sunflower Oil

Often perceived as healthy, but high-oleic versions are better. Standard sunflower oil is very high in inflammatory Omega-6s.

Full Ingredients List:

potatoes, vegetable oil, corn oil, sunflower oil, cottonseed oil, barbecue seasoning, sugar, maltodextrin, dextrose, torula yeast, onion powder, spice, yeast extract, paprika, extractives of paprika, garlic powder, tomato powder, citric acid, molasses, natural flavor, salt
