Sodium nitriteForms carcinogenic nitrosamines in cured/processed meat; processed meat classified IARC Group 1.
Cochineal / carmineInsect-derived red colour; documented allergic and anaphylactic reactions.
CarrageenanDegraded carrageenan, and in some animal/in-vitro studies food-grade carrageenan, are linked to intestinal inflammation; human evidence is limited and contested.
TriphosphatesInorganic phosphate additives are highly bioavailable; high additive-phosphate intake is associated with increased cardiovascular and kidney burden, particularly in chronic kidney disease.
