| Ingredient | Concern | Function | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
1 Glycerin E422 | ✓No Notable Concerns | Humectant, sweetener, solvent, and thickening agent | Glycerin is a commonly used food additive with a well-established safety profile and broad regulatory approval. |
2 Soluble Vegetable Fiber INS 1200 | ✓No Notable Concerns | bulking agent, texturizer, and dietary fiber enrichment | Soluble vegetable fiber is a well-tolerated functional ingredient used to enhance dietary fiber content with minimal impact on glycemic response. |
3 Milk Derived Protein Blend | ?Under Review | — | AI summary pending... |
4 Maltitol E965 | ✓Low Concern | Sweetener, bulking agent, humectant, and texturizer in reduced-calorie and sugar-free formulations. | Maltitol is a well-tolerated sugar alcohol that provides sweetness with a lower glycemic impact, though high intake levels may cause mild digestive considerations. |
5 Maltitol Syrup | ?Under Review | — | AI summary pending... |
6 Water | ✓No Notable Concerns | solvent, moisture retention agent, beverage base, thermal transfer medium | Water is a fundamental and essential component of human nutrition with an established safety profile. |
7 Polydextrose 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. |
8 Fractionated Palm Kernel Oil | ⚠Moderate Concern | Texturizer, fat source, and coating agent in confectionery, bakery items, and dairy alternatives. | Palm kernel oil contains high levels of saturated fats, meaning consumption patterns should align with broader dietary guidelines for lipid intake. |
9 Peanut Butter Allergen | ⚠Moderate Concern | Protein source, texture modifier, fat binder, and flavor enhancer in food formulations | Peanut butter is a nutrient-dense food containing essential fats and protein, though it requires specific allergen labeling due to its classification as a major food allergen. |
10 Sunflower Oil | ✓Low Concern | Cooking medium, texture enhancer, frying agent, and carrier for flavors in processed foods. | Vegetable oil is a standard dietary fat source that is widely permitted and utilized globally, with consumption patterns evaluated primarily within the context of total daily caloric and lipid intake. |
11 Peanuts Allergen | ⚠Moderate Concern | Primary ingredient in snack foods, spreads, confectionery, and vegetable oil production, serving as a source of dietary protein and texture enhancement. | Peanuts offer substantial nutritional benefits but require mandatory allergen labeling due to their potential to trigger immune responses in sensitive populations. |
12 Pea Protein | ✓No Notable Concerns | protein fortification, emulsification, texturizing, and binding agent in plant-based dairy, meat alternatives, and nutritional supplements | Pea protein is a well-tolerated, plant-derived protein source with a broad regulatory approval profile and minimal allergenicity. |
13 Nonfat Milk Allergen | ✓No Notable Concerns | Used as a fluid beverage, ingredient in baking, dairy products, protein supplementation, and commercial food manufacturing for moisture and nutrition without added fat. | Nonfat milk is a widely consumed dairy ingredient providing essential proteins and micronutrients, suitable for the general population except those with lactose intolerance or milk protein allergies. |
