Flagged additives

• Sunset yellow FCF — Southampton Six colour; hyperactivity/attention concern in children.
• Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) — Antioxidant; classified as possibly carcinogenic to humans (animal forestomach tumours).
• Sucralose — Sweetener; emerging genotoxicity concern around the impurity/metabolite sucralose-6-acetate.
• Diphosphates — Inorganic phosphate additives are highly bioavailable; high additive-phosphate intake is associated with increased cardiovascular and kidney burden, particularly in chronic kidney disease.
• Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) — Synthetic emulsifier linked in animal and in-vitro studies to gut-microbiome disruption and intestinal inflammation; human evidence is emerging.
• Acesulfame K — Sweetener; broadly assessed safe but some consumer-avoidance and limited animal-study questions.
