Contains additive of concern
- 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.
- Calcium propionatePropionate preservatives have been associated in limited studies with behavioural/irritability effects in children and with migraine in sensitive individuals; evidence is weak.
- CarrageenanDegraded carrageenan, and in some animal/in-vitro studies food-grade carrageenan, are linked to intestinal inflammation; human evidence is limited and contested.
- Acesulfame KSweetener; broadly assessed safe but some consumer-avoidance and limited animal-study questions.
