Why it's rated this way

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

  1. SucraloseModerate concernSweetener; emerging genotoxicity concern around the impurity/metabolite sucralose-6-acetate.
    What it is
    Its role isn't recorded in our data yet.
    Why it's flagged
    Sweetener; emerging genotoxicity concern around the impurity/metabolite sucralose-6-acetate.
    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. Potassium 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
    Its role isn't recorded in our data yet.
    Why it's flagged
    Inorganic phosphate additives are highly bioavailable; high additive-phosphate intake is associated with increased cardiovascular and kidney burden, particularly in chronic kidney disease.
