    Synthetic emulsifier linked in animal and in-vitro studies to gut-microbiome disruption and intestinal inflammation; human evidence is emerging.

  • Preserved with potassium sorbateNo flag
  • Sodium propionate · E281Low

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

  • Ammonia caramel (E150C)Moderate

    Caramel colour class III; may contain 4-methylimidazole (4-MEI), an animal carcinogen.

  • Calcium phosphates (E341)Low

    Inorganic phosphate additives are highly bioavailable; high additive-phosphate intake is associated with increased cardiovascular and kidney burden, particularly in chronic kidney disease.

  • Diphosphates (E450)Low

    Inorganic phosphate additives are highly bioavailable; high additive-phosphate intake is associated with increased cardiovascular and kidney burden, particularly in chronic kidney disease.
