What's inside

Folic acid

Possible masking of vitamin B12 deficiency at high doses, potential nerve damage with excessive intake

High Fructose Corn Syrup

Metabolic disturbances including insulin resistance, obesity risk, excessive caloric intake

Soybean oil

High omega-6 polyunsaturated fat content, potential oxidative instability, concerns with processing methods including hexane extraction

Canola Oil

PUFA-dominant oil, potential oxidation instability under high heat, minor sensitization on skin contact possible

Modified Food Starch

Rare allergenic potential, may contain residues from chemical modifications, ultra-processed

Sunflower Oil

High omega-6 fatty acid content, oxidative instability when heated, potential for lipid peroxidation products, moderate ingestion toxicity if excessively consumed

Sodium Nitrite

Potential formation of carcinogenic nitrosamines under certain conditions, ingestion toxicity at high doses, regulatory restrictions in food applications

Sorbic Acid

Irritation at high concentrations, rare sensitization, minimal systemic toxicity

Soy Lecithin

Potential for allergenicity, processing by hexane extraction, mild endocrine activity concerns

Sunflower Lecithin

Minor allergenic potential, processing-related residues possible but low

Corn syrup

High glycemic index, excessive intake linked to insulin resistance and obesity

Calcium Disodium EDTA

Possible mild irritation in high concentrations, potential for bioaccumulation with excessive exposure, ingestion toxicity at large doses

Natural Flavoring

Lack of transparency, potential chemical solvents or preservatives, ultra-processed

Ground Beef

Source of high-quality protein, essential amino acids, iron, vitamin B12, zinc

Salt

Monoglycerides

Emulsifier function, improves food texture and stability, enhances shelf life

Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate

Improves dough handling, enhances texture, stabilizes emulsions

Pea

High in protein, high in fiber, rich in vitamins and minerals, supports digestive health, supports heart health

Potato

Source of carbohydrates, dietary fiber, vitamin C, potassium, and B vitamins

Fava bean protein

Good plant protein source, provides essential amino acids, may support muscle synthesis, sustainable protein alternative

Wheat Dextrose

Provides sweetness and energy source, humectant properties in formulations

Wheat Maltodextrin

Provides texture and volume, easy digestibility, energy source

Cured with Water

Water used during the curing process mainly as a solvent or to facilitate ingredient distribution in cured meats; not an ingredient itself.

Sugar

Source of quick energy

Sodium Phosphate

Improves texture, acts as leavening agent, stabilizes acidity
