Why it's rated this way

4 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

    What it is
    Its role isn't recorded in our data yet.
    Why it's flagged
    Inorganic phosphate additives are highly bioavailable; high additive-phosphate intake is associated with increased cardiovascular and kidney burden, particularly in chronic kidney disease.
