5 additives on this label are on our additives-of-concern list.

  1. Brilliant blue FCFModerate concernSynthetic dye; allergic-type reactions reported in sensitive individuals.
    What it is
    Its role isn't recorded in our data yet.
    Why it's flagged
    Synthetic dye; allergic-type reactions reported in sensitive individuals.
    Regulatory basis
    Greenveil's curated additives-of-concern list, which cites the authority behind each entry.
    How sure we are
    High confidence. Matched by the additive code declared on the label.
  2. Sodium benzoateModerate concernPreservative; can form trace benzene (a carcinogen) when combined with ascorbic acid; implicated in child hyperactivity studies.
    What it is
    Its role isn't recorded in our data yet.
    Why it's flagged
    Preservative; can form trace benzene (a carcinogen) when combined with ascorbic acid; implicated in child hyperactivity studies.
