  1. Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA)Moderate concernAntioxidant; classified as possibly carcinogenic to humans (animal forestomach tumours).
    What it is
    Its role isn't recorded in our data yet.
    Why it's flagged
    Antioxidant; classified as possibly carcinogenic to humans (animal forestomach tumours).
    Regulatory basis
