What's inside

Vegetable Oil

High omega-6 content, oxidative instability, ingestion toxicity at high dietary levels due to PUFA dominance and potential rancidity

Vegetable Shortening

High omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, potential for trans fat if partially hydrogenated, soybean derivative with potential allergenicity and estrogenic concerns, oxidation instability

Soy Flour

Possible allergenicity, estrogenic activity due to isoflavones, hexane solvent residues in some processed forms

Natural & Artificial Flavors

Lack of transparency, may contain solvents, ultra-processed, potential irritant or sensitizer

Preservatives

Skin sensitization, contact allergy, eye irritation, respiratory sensitization (some types), regulatory restrictions in some regions

Soy Lecithin

Processing residues (hexane extraction), potential estrogenic effects, allergenicity in soy-sensitive individuals

Artificial Color

Potential allergenicity, hyperactivity in sensitive children, possible carcinogenic contaminants, regulatory restrictions in some jurisdictions

Xanthan Gum

Minor gastrointestinal discomfort at high intake, rare allergic reactions

Phosphoric Acid

Dental erosion from acidic exposure, potential contributions to decreased bone mineral density with excessive intake, gastrointestinal irritation at high concentrations

Cellulose gum

Minor digestive discomfort in some individuals, potential mild sensitizer in topical use
