High omega-6 content leading to oxidative instability, excessive dietary intake associated with weight gain and metabolic risk, potential presence of residues from hexane extraction

Canola Oil

PUFA oxidation instability, potential processing contaminants in refined oil

Sunflower Lecithin

Sensitization potential in sensitive individuals, minimal ingestion toxicity at typical use levels

BHA

Possible carcinogenicity in animal studies, endocrine disruption potential, sensitization risk, processing chemical

High Fructose Corn Syrup

Metabolic effects including insulin resistance, contribution to obesity and related disorders with excessive intake

Polysorbate 60

Potential for mild skin and eye irritation, possible gastrointestinal discomfort with excessive ingestion, concerns about contaminant impurities in poorly purified batches

Soy Lecithin

Potential estrogenic effects, hexane solvent residuals from processing, allergenicity concerns, ultra-processed ingredient

Natural & Artificial Flavors

Lack of transparency, possible presence of undisclosed solvents or preservatives, ultra-processing, potential allergen or irritant, variable composition

Caramel color

Potential contamination with 4-methylimidazole (4-MEI), a possible carcinogen at high exposure, regulatory limits apply
