Nutrition profile and additives of concern
Contains additive of concern
- TartrazineSouthampton study link to hyperactivity/attention effects in children; can trigger reactions in sensitive individuals.
- Sunset yellow FCFSouthampton Six colour; hyperactivity/attention concern in children.
- Titanium dioxidePossible genotoxicity (DNA/chromosomal damage) could not be ruled out; no longer considered safe as a food additive.
- Ammonia caramelCaramel colour class III; may contain 4-methylimidazole (4-MEI), an animal carcinogen.
- Sodium benzoatePreservative; can form trace benzene (a carcinogen) when combined with ascorbic acid; implicated in child hyperactivity studies.
- DiphosphatesInorganic phosphate additives are highly bioavailable; high additive-phosphate intake is associated with increased cardiovascular and kidney burden, particularly in chronic kidney disease.
