Cochineal / carmineInsect-derived red colour; documented allergic and anaphylactic reactions.
Sodium benzoatePreservative; can form trace benzene (a carcinogen) when combined with ascorbic acid; implicated in child hyperactivity studies.
SucraloseSweetener; emerging genotoxicity concern around the impurity/metabolite sucralose-6-acetate.
Sodium phosphatesInorganic phosphate additives are highly bioavailable; high additive-phosphate intake is associated with increased cardiovascular and kidney burden, particularly in chronic kidney disease.
