Why this verdict?
Ingredients
-
VinegarFermented food.
-
Caramel Color (generic)Without a Class number, manufacturer-disclosed type is unknown; Class III/IV variants (most common in colas) contain 4-MeI, a California Prop 65 carcinogen.
-
Glucose SyrupIndustrial sugar syrup hydrolyzed from starch — almost always GMO corn or wheat in the US/EU food supply. Functionally similar to corn syrup; same metabolic concerns (rapid glycemic load, fructose-glucose imbalance) plus the GMO sourcing.
-
Sugar (Refined)Refined sucrose, typically from sugarcane or sugar beet; minimally processed but a refined sweetener.
-
Modified Food StarchIndustrially modified starch (chemical, enzymatic, or physical processing — label rarely specifies which). Common GMO source (corn/wheat/tapioca), and several modification agents (propylene oxide, sodium hydroxide) are flagged in EU regulatory reviews. Editorial position: not what we'd stock.
-
Xanthan GumMicrobial fermentation product; well tolerated by most but can cause GI distress in sensitive individuals.
