Key ingredients 5

Microbial yeast enzymes
Good

Microbial yeast enzymes are used in food processing to aid in fermentation and improve texture. They are derived from natural sources and are generally considered safe. They can enhance the nutritional profile of foods by aiding digestion.

Benefits

Aids in fermentation and digestion, potentially improving nutrient absorption.

Pasteurized skimmed milk
Neutral

Pasteurized skimmed milk is a low-fat dairy product that provides protein and calcium. The pasteurization process ensures safety by eliminating harmful bacteria. However, it lacks the beneficial fats found in whole milk.

Benefits

Provides a source of protein and calcium, essential for bone health.

Salt
Neutral

Salt is a common seasoning used to enhance flavor in foods. It is a refined product without the trace minerals found in unrefined salts. Excessive consumption can lead to health issues such as hypertension.

Risks

Excessive intake can lead to high blood pressure and cardiovascular issues.

Benefits

Enhances flavor and is essential for maintaining fluid balance in the body.

Lactic acid culture
Neutral

Benefits

Contributes to the development of flavor and may support gut health.

Durability certified palm oil
Bad

Palm oil is a highly processed oil often criticized for its environmental impact and high saturated fat content. While durability certification may indicate sustainable sourcing, health concerns remain due to its saturated fat profile. It is less healthy compared to oils like olive or avocado oil.

Risks

High saturated fat content may contribute to heart disease if consumed in excess.

Benefits

Provides a stable cooking oil with a long shelf life.
