Why this score

Clean ingredients6 flagged

What's inside

Soybean oil

High omega-6 fatty acid content associated with oxidative instability, potential endocrine effects from isoflavones contaminants, hexane extraction residues possible

Natural flavor

Lack of transparency, potential for chemical solvents or additives, ultra-processed, no nutritional value

Sodium Nitrite

Potential carcinogenic nitrosamine formation, ingestion toxicity at high levels, regulatory restrictions on maximum usage levels

Color Added

Allergic reactions, hypersensitivity, potential irritant, regulatory restrictions on some synthetic dyes

Sorbic Acid

Irritation at high concentrations, potential sensitizer in some individuals

Soy Lecithin

Potential for estrogenic effects due to isoflavone residues, hexane solvent residues from processing, allergenicity in soy-sensitive individuals, ultra-processed ingredient

Enriched Flour

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

Water

Hydration, solvent for biochemical reactions, essential for life

Yeast

Leavening agent in baking, fermentation starter, source of B vitamins and nutrients

Yellow Corn Meal

Source of carbohydrates, dietary fiber, and some micronutrients such as carotenoids

Sugar

Provides energy, enhances flavor

Salt

Essential electrolyte, supports nerve transmission, aids fluid balance

Mono- and Diglycerides

Function as emulsifiers and stabilizers, improve texture and shelf life of foods

Wheat Gluten

Enhances texture and elasticity in baked goods, adds protein content

Calcium Propionate

Prevents mold growth, extends shelf life, reduces food spoilage

Citric acid

Acidulant, preservative enhancing flavor and antimicrobial stability

Calcium citrate

Provides bioavailable calcium for bone mineralization and maintenance

Baking soda

Leavening agent in baking, neutralizes acids, mild antacid properties

Fumaric Acid

USDA Grade A Eggs

High-quality protein source, provides essential vitamins (B12, D), minerals, and choline

Pork

Source of high-quality protein, B vitamins (especially B12, niacin), minerals such as zinc and iron

Sodium lactate

Antimicrobial preservative, humectant that maintains moisture

Sodium Phosphate

Improves texture and moisture retention in foods, extends shelf life, regulates acidity

Sodium Diacetate

Preservative properties, inhibits microbial growth, acidity regulator

Milk

Provides calcium, vitamin D, high-quality protein

Cream

Source of fat-soluble vitamins, provides texture and flavor to foods

Sodium citrate

Water softening, pH buffering, biodegradable, low toxicity

Cheese Cultures

Facilitates cheese production, enhances flavor and texture, may contribute to probiotic effects in some strains

Lactic Acid

pH regulation in topical applications, supports natural flora balance in intimate area

Acetic Acid

Effective pH modulator, preserves food by inhibiting microbial growth

Enzymes

Enhance processing efficiency, improve product texture and shelf-life, reduce energy use in manufacturing

Pasteurized Cream

Source of dietary fat and fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamin A and D
