Why it's rated this way

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

  1. Propionic acidMinor concernPropionate preservatives have been associated in limited studies with behavioural/irritability effects in children and with migraine in sensitive individuals; evidence is weak.
    What it is
    Its role isn't recorded in our data yet.
