Ingredient Decoder

High Risk Additives

Fish

One of the Top 9 Major Allergens. Unlike other allergies, fish allergies often develop in adulthood and can cause severe reactions.

Shellfish

One of the Top 9 Major Allergens (Shrimp, Crab, Lobster). This is the most common food allergy in adults and is usually lifelong.

TBHQ (Tertiary Butylhydroquinone)

A petroleum-based preservative found in crackers and nuggets. High doses have been linked to stomach tumors and DNA damage in animal studies.

Moderate Caution

Sesame

Recently added as the 9th Major Allergen in the US. Sesame is often hidden in 'natural flavors' or spice blends, making it dangerous for allergic individuals.

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.

Disodium Guanylate

Flavor enhancer (E627) often used with MSG. Dangerous for people with gout or kidney stones as it metabolizes into uric acid.
