artificial flavor

Catch-all for synthetic flavor chemicals; regulatory threshold does not address cumulative exposure

caramel color

Ammonia-process caramel coloring; may contain 4-MEI; ultra-processed marker.

Enriched flour

Stripped of nutrients; high glycemic; bleaching may leave chemical residue.

sugar

High glycemic index; promotes inflammation and metabolic disease.
