Nutrition profile and additives of concern
Contains additive of concern
- TartrazineSouthampton study link to hyperactivity/attention effects in children; can trigger reactions in sensitive individuals.
- Sunset yellow FCFSouthampton Six colour; hyperactivity/attention concern in children.
- Allura red ACSouthampton Six colour; hyperactivity/attention concern in children.
- Titanium dioxidePossible genotoxicity (DNA/chromosomal damage) could not be ruled out; no longer considered safe as a food additive.
- ErythrosineIodine-based red dye; thyroid effects in animal studies; restricted uses.
- Indigotine / indigo carmineSynthetic dye; allergic-type reactions reported.
- Brilliant blue FCFSynthetic dye; allergic-type reactions reported in sensitive individuals.
- Annatto / bixin / norbixinNatural colour; occasional allergic/intolerance reactions.
- Sodium propionatePropionate preservatives have been associated in limited studies with behavioural/irritability effects in children and with migraine in sensitive individuals; evidence is weak.
- Calcium phosphatesInorganic phosphate additives are highly bioavailable; high additive-phosphate intake is associated with increased cardiovascular and kidney burden, particularly in chronic kidney disease.
- CarrageenanDegraded carrageenan, and in some animal/in-vitro studies food-grade carrageenan, are linked to intestinal inflammation; human evidence is limited and contested.
- Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)Synthetic emulsifier linked in animal and in-vitro studies to gut-microbiome disruption and intestinal inflammation; human evidence is emerging.
