Why it's rated this way

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

  1. Titanium dioxideHigh concernPossible genotoxicity (DNA/chromosomal damage) could not be ruled out; no longer considered safe as a food additive.
    What it is
    Its role isn't recorded in our data yet.
    Why it's flagged
    Possible genotoxicity (DNA/chromosomal damage) could not be ruled out; no longer considered safe as a food additive.
    Regulatory basis

    How sure we are
    High confidence. Matched by the additive code declared on the label.
  2. Sodium benzoateModerate concernPreservative; can form trace benzene (a carcinogen) when combined with ascorbic acid; implicated in child hyperactivity studies.
    What it is
    Its role isn't recorded in our data yet.

    How sure we are
    High confidence. Matched by the additive code declared on the label.
  3. 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.

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