Does a xylitol match mean a pet warning?
No. Pet safety is outside V1. The match only means the household toggle includes this printed ingredient.
Artificial sweeteners
Xylitol
A sugar alcohol printed as xylitol or E967. Off unless the sugar-alcohol toggle is on.
Matches personal ingredient preferences based on label evidence; not medical, allergy, or dietary safety advice
What the label is naming
Xylitol is a sugar alcohol common in sugar-free gum and mints. It is behind the sugar-alcohol toggle. Pet safety is out of scope: a xylitol match is not a veterinary warning, and a product without the word xylitol is not certified pet-safe.
Where it hides
Sugar-free gum, mints, and some peanut butters marketed as sweetened with xylitol. The gum aisle is the first place to look.
