    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.
