Low concern
Not a red flag on its own. Pay attention if it shows up often.
What it is
Mono- and diglycerides. Factory emulsifiers.
Why it’s used
Stop oil and water arguing in a bun or a spread.
What to know
Not a high-concern extra. A sign the recipe needed help staying together.

Anyone avoiding ultra-processed food as a pattern.
A gentler swap
Butter, olive oil, a short-list loaf.
You’ll see it in
Bread, ice cream, margarine.
