The presence of added sugars, such as cane sugar and tapioca syrup, further diminishes its standing. Additionally, the use of potentially harmful additives like natural flavors and enriched flour raises concerns. The inclusion of palm oil, a controversial ingredient due to its environmental impact and potential health implications, also contributes negatively to the product’s overall rating.
