Ingredients (15)

Water (safe) — Used as a basic ingredient in bread.
Sugar (moderate) — Added for sweetness, can contribute to calorie content.
Soybean and/or palm oil (moderate) — Cheap refined oil providing the 'creamy' fat; the 'and/or' means you can't even know which one you're drinking.
Sodium caseinate (milk derivative) (moderate) — An isolated milk protein used as a whitener; also means this 'non-dairy' product still contains milk.
Natural and Artificial Flavors (caution) — Undisclosed lab flavoring - the artificial half signals engineering.
Dipotassium Phosphate (moderate) — Buffer and stabilizer; added phosphates are worth limiting for people managing kidney health.
Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate (caution) — Dough and cream conditioner — another engineered emulsifier.
Polysorbate 60 (moderate) — Synthetic emulsifier stabilizing cake and icing.
datem (caution) — Industrial dough emulsifier used to engineer texture and rise.
Sodium Phosphate (caution) — Emulsifying salt; helps the cheese melt smooth, adds sodium and phosphate load.
sodium citrate (moderate) — Emulsifying salt in the process cheese.
Cellulose gel (moderate) — Processed cellulose bulking/texturizing agent.
Cellulose Gum (moderate) — Thickener adding to the multi-gum stabilizer system.
Carrageenan (moderate) — Seaweed-derived stabilizer; some people report digestive sensitivity.
Color Added (caution) — Unspecified colorant — the label doesn't even say which.
