Ingredient Decoder

Moderate Caution

Maltodextrin

A highly processed white powder from corn or wheat. It has a higher Glycemic Index than table sugar (spiking insulin rapidly) and can suppress good gut bacteria.

Disodium Guanylate

Flavor enhancer (E627) often used with MSG. Dangerous for people with gout or kidney stones as it metabolizes into uric acid.

Sunflower Oil

Often perceived as healthy, but high-oleic versions are better. Standard sunflower oil is very high in inflammatory Omega-6s.

Taking into account the macro-nutrient balance, additive risks, and caloric density, Spicy Sweet Chili Flavored Meat Stick achieves a CakeID Score of 70/100.
