Ingredients & minerals

Corn Syrup Solids

High glycemic load, contributes to excessive sugar intake, linked to insulin resistance and metabolic disorders

Sodium Hydroxide

Severe skin irritation, chemical burns, eye damage, respiratory irritation upon inhalation of dust or aerosols

Vegetable Oil

High omega-6 content, oxidative instability at cooking temperatures, excessive intake associated with weight gain and metabolic disturbances

Margarine

PUFA-rich oil with potential oxidative instability, soy lecithin emulsifier with mild estrogenic concerns and hexane extraction risk, possible allergenicity (soy), color additive 160a (beta-carotene) generally low risk, salt contributes to sodium intake

Fully Cooked Ham

Sodium content, nitrite-related contamination risk, potential formation of nitrosamines, processed meat associated with increased cancer risk

Soy Flour

Processing byproducts, potential allergenicity, moderate endocrine effects due to isoflavones, possible hexane extraction residues

Reduced-Fat Cheddar Cheese

High saturated fat content relative to other foods, potential lactose intolerance issues, high sodium content, oxidation instability in fat components

Natural flavor

Lack of transparency, potential presence of solvents or processing residues, ultra-processed nature, no nutritional value

Modified Food Starch

Ultra-processed ingredient, potential allergen for sensitive individuals, may contain residual processing agents

Mono and Diglycerides

Possible minor irritation or sensitization in sensitive individuals, processing residues depending on source, ultra-processed ingredient

Disodium Phosphate

Excessive intake may contribute to elevated phosphate levels affecting kidney function, possible irritation at high concentrations

Water

Universal solvent, non-toxic, non-irritating, environmentally safe

Maltodextrin

Provides quick source of glucose for energy, improves texture and stability in food products

Salt

Essential electrolyte, supports nerve transmission, aids fluid balance

Cheddar Cheese

Source of protein, calcium, vitamins; contributes to dietary nutrient intake

Enzyme Modified Milk Fat

Enhances flavor with small quantities, may reduce need for artificial flavorings

Citric acid

Preservative properties, pH adjuster, flavor enhancer, chelating agent to improve product stability

Enriched Flour

Provides calories and some restored nutrients (iron, B vitamins), versatile baking ingredient

Sugar

Provides energy, enhances flavor and palatability of foods

Wheat Flour

Source of carbohydrates and some protein, staple food providing energy

Buttermilk Powder

Source of dairy proteins and minerals

Bleached Enriched Flour

Energy source from carbohydrates, nutritional enrichment with iron and B vitamins

Enzyme Modified Cheddar Cheese

Source of dietary protein, calcium, and fats

Turmeric and Annatto [Colors]

Natural colorant, source of antioxidant carotenoids

Dried Garlic

Flavoring agent, contains organosulfur compounds with antioxidant properties

Calcium Hydroxide

Leavening agent, improves texture and processing in food products

Dried Onion

Flavor enhancement, contains antioxidants

Whey

High-quality protein source with all essential amino acids, supports muscle protein synthesis

Ascorbic Acid

Antioxidant, color stabilizer, nutrient (vitamin C)

Enzymes

Enhance food processing efficiency, improve digestibility, and contribute to flavor development

Lecithin

Emulsifying agent improving product texture and stability, source of phospholipids

Calcium Propionate

Prevents mold growth, extends shelf life, reduces food spoilage

Yeast

Leavening agent in baking, fermentation for alcohol and flavor, source of B vitamins and proteins

Sodium caseinate

High-quality protein source, functional emulsifier and stabilizer in food formulations

Autolyzed Yeast Extract

Enhances savory flavor (umami), often used to improve palatability in food products

Lactic Acid

pH regulation, antimicrobial properties, supports shelf-life extension, mild exfoliation in skincare

Calcium lactate

Provides bioavailable calcium for bone and dental health, food firming agent

Acetic Acid

Effective pH modulator, preserves food by inhibiting microbial growth

Methylcellulose

Provides thickening and stabilizing properties, aids texture modification, non-digestible fiber

Organic Dried Egg Whites

High-quality protein source, functional emulsifier and foaming agent in food processing
