Why it's rated this way

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

  1. Benzoic acidModerate concernPreservative; benzene-formation potential with ascorbic acid; intolerance reactions.
    What it is
    Its role isn't recorded in our data yet.
    Why it's flagged
    Preservative; benzene-formation potential with ascorbic acid; intolerance reactions.
    Regulatory basis

    How sure we are
    High confidence. Matched by the additive code declared on the label.
  2. Sodium propionateMinor concernPropionate preservatives have been associated in limited studies with behavioural/irritability effects in children and with migraine in sensitive individuals; evidence is weak.
