| Ingredient | Concern | Function | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
1 Corn Syrup | ⚠Moderate Concern | Sweetener, texturizer, humectant, and anti-crystallizing agent in food products. | Corn syrup provides readily available caloric energy and functional benefits in food preparation, though intake moderation aligns with broader dietary guidelines regarding refined carbohydrates. |
2 Dextrose | ✓Low Concern | Sweetener, texturizer, and fermentable substrate for baking and beverage manufacturing. | Dextrose is a standard caloric sweetener that contributes to total daily carbohydrate and energy intake. |
3 Hydrogenated Coconut Oil Synthetic | ⚠Moderate Concern | Texturizing agent, fat source, and shelf-life extender in baked goods, confectionery, and dairy alternatives. | Hydrogenated coconut oil contains high levels of saturated fats, and depending on the hydrogenation process, may contain trans fats, suggesting consumption should be moderated in line with standard dietary fat guidelines. |
4 Maltodextrin INS 1400 | ✓Low Concern | bulking agent, thickener, stabilizer, texturizer, and carrier for flavors | Maltodextrin is a widely utilized food ingredient with a high glycemic index, meaning intake is associated with rapid increases in blood glucose response. |
5 Calcium Stearate E470I | ✓No Notable Concerns | anticaking agent, emulsifier, release agent, and binder | Calcium stearate is widely recognized as safe by major regulatory bodies with no significant points of consideration for general consumption. |
6 2% Or Less Of Malic Acid E296 | ✓No Notable Concerns | flavor enhancer, acidulant, pH regulator | Malic acid is a naturally occurring organic compound widely recognized as safe for consumption in standard food applications. |
7 Egg Whites Allergen | ✓No Notable Concerns | Protein enrichment, foaming agent, gelling agent, and binding agent in bakery and confectionery products. | Egg whites are a standard protein source, though clear allergen labeling is mandated for sensitive populations. |
8 Natural Flavor | ✓No Notable Concerns | flavour | Natural flavors are generally recognized as safe by regulatory bodies worldwide for use within standard manufacturing practices. |
9 Carnauba Wax E903 | ✓No Notable Concerns | Glazing agent, surface finishing agent, and moisture barrier | Carnauba wax is a naturally derived substance recognized as safe for consumption within established regulatory limits. |
10 Mono- And Diglycerides E471 | ✓No Notable Concerns | Emulsifier and stabilizer used to improve texture, extend shelf-life, and prevent oil-water separation in baked goods, margarine, and confectionery. | Mono- and diglycerides are commonly utilized food emulsifiers that are metabolized by the body similarly to standard dietary fats and are recognized as safe by major global regulatory agencies. |
11 Blue 2 Lake E132 | ✓Low Concern | Coloring agent | Blue 2 Lake is an authorized synthetic color additive with established acceptable daily intake levels supported by international safety evaluations. |
12 Blue 1 Lake E133 | ✓Low Concern | Coloring agent | Blue 1 Lake is a synthetic color additive authorized for use within established regulatory limits by major global food safety authorities. |
13 Red 40 Lake | ?Under Review | — | AI summary pending... |
14 Yellow 5 Lake E102 | ✓Low Concern | Coloring agent | Yellow 5 Lake is a widely permitted synthetic color additive with established regulatory limits for daily intake. |
