Why it's rated this way

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

  1. 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
