Contains additive of concern
- SucraloseSweetener; emerging genotoxicity concern around the impurity/metabolite sucralose-6-acetate.
- CarrageenanDegraded carrageenan, and in some animal/in-vitro studies food-grade carrageenan, are linked to intestinal inflammation; human evidence is limited and contested.
- PolyphosphatesInorganic 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 KSweetener; broadly assessed safe but some consumer-avoidance and limited animal-study questions.
