Why it's rated this way

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

  1. Titanium dioxideHigh concernPossible genotoxicity (DNA/chromosomal damage) could not be ruled out; no longer considered safe as a food additive.
    What it is
    Its role isn't recorded in our data yet.
    Why it's flagged

    How sure we are
    High confidence. Matched by the additive code declared on the label.
  2. 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.
