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.
Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA)Antioxidant; classified as possibly carcinogenic to humans (animal forestomach tumours).
Sodium phosphatesInorganic phosphate additives are highly bioavailable; high additive-phosphate intake is associated with increased cardiovascular and kidney burden, particularly in chronic kidney disease.
DiphosphatesInorganic phosphate additives are highly bioavailable; high additive-phosphate intake is associated with increased cardiovascular and kidney burden, particularly in chronic kidney disease.
