Ingredient Decoder

High Risk Additives

Peanut

One of the Top 9 Major Allergens. Peanut allergies are among the most severe and life-threatening, often requiring those affected to carry an EpiPen at all times.

Tree Nuts

One of the Top 9 Major Allergens (includes Almonds, Walnuts, Cashews). Cross-contamination is common in processing facilities.

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.

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:

Cooked long grain rice, green bell pepper, Spanish style flavored seasoning (maltodextrin powder, edible common salt, corn starch, sugar, tomato powder, spices and condiments, mango powder, dehydrated onion, vegetable oil [refined soybean], dehydrated garlic, acidifying agent INS-296, yeast extract, sodium caseinate INS-469, anti-caking agent INS-551, cocoa powder, nature identical flavoring substances, acidifying agent INS-300), tomato paste, refined sunflower oil, tomatoes, sugar, red chili powder.
