Why it's rated this way

2 additives on this label are on our additives-of-concern list.

  1. CarrageenanMinor concernDegraded carrageenan, and in some animal/in-vitro studies food-grade carrageenan, are linked to intestinal inflammation; human evidence is limited and contested.

    How sure we are
    High confidence. Matched by the additive code declared on the label.
  2. DiphosphatesMinor concernInorganic phosphate additives are highly bioavailable; high additive-phosphate intake is associated with increased cardiovascular and kidney burden, particularly in chronic kidney disease.
