    What it is
    Its role isn't recorded in our data yet.
    Why it's flagged
    Antioxidant; classified as possibly carcinogenic to humans (animal forestomach tumours).
    Regulatory basis

    How sure we are
    High confidence. Matched by the additive code declared on the label.
  2. Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT)Moderate concernAntioxidant; animal-study tumour/endocrine signals; structurally related to BHA.
    What it is
    Its role isn't recorded in our data yet.
    Why it's flagged
    Antioxidant; animal-study tumour/endocrine signals; structurally related to BHA.

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