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.

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.

Sunflower Oil

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

Yellow rice (white rice, turmeric [for color]), shrimp, water, squid (squid, citric acid), mussels, peas, pre-fried onions (onion, sunflower oil), red pepper, green pepper, yellow pepper, sunflower oil, powdered shellfish stock (dextrose, maltodextrin, potato starch, salt, fish powder [cod, pollock, haddock, whiting, grenadier], onion, paprika extract [color]), seasoning ( salt, paprika, pepper, sugar, onion, curcumin [color), paprika extract [color], spice extracts), extra virgin olive oil, natural crab flavor (crab milk), paella spice mix (salt, modified tapioca starch, plant aromatics [paprika, saffron, natural garlic, onion], maltodextrin, potato starch, lactose, fish powder [cod, haddock], shrimp extract, natural flavorings, paprika extract [color], curcumin [color] horseradish), saffron, natural garlic flavor (garlic extract, salt, wheat maltodextrin), chili pepper.
