   @Suzu @LouisConde That's disgusting. Modified food starch is a stabilizer, but it's going to be later on in the ingredients like guar gum or xanthum gum.

     @LouisConde and this goes for almost every product.
     Some years ago I started paying way more attention to this shit, and it's insanely hard to find even mayonnaise that is, you know, made of mayonnaise.
     I mean, what are the ingredients for mayo? Eggs, oil, some acid (either lemon juice or vinegar). Salt, maybe some spices for a bit of flavor. OK, since it's a factory made product that needs to have a somewhat longer shelf life than a handmade mayo at home, you can throw some stabilizants and conservants in it, but that's it.
     Except it was almost impossible to find one with these ingredients, because 90% of the brands throw in starch as the main ingredient to cheaply add volume. I found only one brand that has only the required ingredients. The same with ketchup and mustard, they add starch to all.of them.
