Ingredients & minerals

Canola Oil

High omega-6 fatty acid content leading to oxidative instability, potential for refining contaminants depending on processing, mild endocrine concerns due to processing residues in some cases

Artificial Flavor

Potential allergens, possible irritants, ultra-processed, lack of compositional transparency

Soy Lecithin

Potential endocrine disruption due to soy isoflavones, allergic reactions in soy-sensitive individuals, hexane solvent residues from processing

Glucose Syrup

Excessive intake associated with increased risk of obesity, dental caries, and metabolic disturbances

Strawberry puree

Irritation/sensitization from artificial colors Red 40 and Blue 1, potential allergenicity, preservative-related sensitization, ultra-processed additive exposure

Carmine

Irritation, sensitization including allergic reactions, contamination risk from insect origin

Natural and Artificial Flavor

Lack of transparency, potential for allergenic or irritant components, ultra-processing, no nutritional value

Folic acid

Excessive intake may mask vitamin B12 deficiency, potential concerns with high-dose supplementation

Potassium sorbate

Irritation at high concentrations, potential mild sensitizer for skin, possible digestive discomfort in sensitive individuals

Sugar

Provides energy (calories) for metabolic processes

Water

Hydration, solvent for ingredients, supports biological functions

Citric acid

pH regulation, preservation, enhances taste by providing acidity

Salt

Essential electrolyte, supports nerve transmission, aids fluid balance

Palm Kernel Oil

Provides texture and stability in food products, resistant to oxidation

Cocoa powder

Provides flavor and color, contains antioxidants such as flavonoids, minor source of minerals

Cinnamon

Flavoring agent, antimicrobial properties at low concentrations, antioxidant content

Sorbitan Tristearate

Emulsifier, stabilizes oil-water mixtures, improves texture and consistency in formulations

Polyglycerol Polyricinoleate

Improves texture and flow of chocolate, enables lower fat content in confectionery

Vanillin

Provides vanilla flavor in foods and beverages

Wheat Flour

Source of carbohydrates and protein, provides structure in baking

Modified Cornstarch

Provides thickening and stabilizing functions in food formulations

Sodium citrate

Water softener, chelating agent, pH buffering, biodegradable, low toxicity

Pectin

Food texture stabilization, dietary fiber source

Sodium Benzoate

Effective preservative at low concentrations, extends shelf life by preventing microbial contamination

Edible Iodized Salt

Essential electrolyte, supports nerve transmission, helps maintain fluid balance, iodine supplementation prevents deficiency disorders

Calcium Sulfate

Used as firming agent and coagulant in food production

Invert Sugar

Provides sweetness, retains moisture, improves texture in food products

Dextrose

Provides immediate energy, used as a carbohydrate source

Maltose

Source of energy as a carbohydrate, used in food formulations for sweetness and fermentable substrate

Butter (Milk) (minimum 80% Fat)

Source of fat-soluble vitamins, energy dense, provides dairy proteins

Glycerin

Humectant properties, moisture retention, solvent for active ingredients

Apple Powder

Source of dietary fiber, contains polyphenols with antioxidant activity, provides some vitamins and minerals

Corn Fiber

Increases dietary fiber intake, supports digestive health, promotes bowel regularity, may aid in blood sugar control

Arabic Gum

Dietary fiber source, stabilizes emulsions, thickening and texture enhancer in foods

Vegetable Oil [Coconut and/or Palm Oil]

Stable cooking oil with longer shelf life, provides energy and fat-soluble nutrients

Baking soda

Leavening agent in baking, odor neutralizing, mild abrasive for cleaning

Thiamin Mononitrate

Prevents thiamin deficiency, supports energy metabolism, essential nutrient

Riboflavin

Supports energy metabolism, assists in cellular respiration, essential nutrient

Niacin
