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.
Moderate Caution
Soybean Oil
A ubiquitous vegetable oil high in Omega-6 fatty acids. Excessive consumption of Omega-6s without balancing Omega-3s can promote systemic inflammation in the body.
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.
Canola Oil
A highly processed industrial oil extracted using hexane solvents, bleached, and deodorized. High in Omega-6s which can promote inflammation if not balanced with Omega-3s.
