Why it's rated this way

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

  1. Calcium propionateMinor concernPropionate preservatives have been associated in limited studies with behavioural/irritability effects in children and with migraine in sensitive individuals; evidence is weak.

    How sure we are
    High confidence. Matched by the additive code declared on the label.
  2. Sodium phosphatesMinor concernInorganic phosphate additives are highly bioavailable; high additive-phosphate intake is associated with increased cardiovascular and kidney burden, particularly in chronic kidney disease.
