Why it’s rated Avoid

A product’s rating follows its most concerning indexed ingredient. Each ingredient links to its science card and the research behind it. How ratings work

  • Vegetable Oil (Unspecified) Undisclosed blend — almost always refined soybean/canola.
    Avoid
  • Canola Oil (Rapeseed Oil) Industrial Seed Oil / High Linoleic Acid & Processing Oxidation
    Avoid
  • Flavor (Unspecified) Undisclosed blend — same practical allowance as natural flavours.
    Use Caution
  • EDTA (Disodium / Tetrasodium) Penetration enhancer; poorly biodegradable.
    Use Caution
  • Potassium Sorbate Mild Food Preservative / DNA Irritation at High Dose
    Use Caution
  • Soy Lecithin Usually solvent-extracted from conventional soy. (Sunflower lecithin is the cleaner alternative.)
    Use Caution
  • Added Vitamins & Minerals Standard fortification nutrients — no toxic-burden concern.
    Clean
  • Water Plain water — no concern.
    Clean
  • Salt Everyday seasoning; no toxic-burden concern at normal use (sodium intake is a nutrition question, not a toxin).
