Why it's rated this way

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

  1. 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.
    Regulatory basis

    How sure we are
    High confidence. Matched by the additive code declared on the label.
  2. 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.
