Food health
Nutrition profile and additives of concern
Contains additive of concern
- Sunset yellow FCFSouthampton Six colour; hyperactivity/attention concern in children.
- Titanium dioxidePossible genotoxicity (DNA/chromosomal damage) could not be ruled out; no longer considered safe as a food additive.
- Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA)Antioxidant; classified as possibly carcinogenic to humans (animal forestomach tumours).
- Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT)Antioxidant; animal-study tumour/endocrine signals; structurally related to BHA.
- Calcium phosphatesInorganic phosphate additives are highly bioavailable; high additive-phosphate intake is associated with increased cardiovascular and kidney burden, particularly in chronic kidney disease.
- CarrageenanDegraded carrageenan, and in some animal/in-vitro studies food-grade carrageenan, are linked to intestinal inflammation; human evidence is limited and contested.
- DiphosphatesInorganic 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.
