Why it's rated this way

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

  1. 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.
    Why it's flagged
