High Risk Additives
Titanium Dioxide
A whitening agent (E171) used in candies and pastries. It has been banned in the EU due to concerns that its nanoparticles could damage DNA (genotoxicity).
Moderate Caution
Yellow 5 (Tartrazine)
A synthetic lemon-yellow azo dye derived from coal tar. It is known to cause allergic reactions (like hives) in people with aspirin intolerance and has been linked to behavioral changes in children.
Soybean Oil
A ubiquitous vegetable oil high in Omega-6 fatty acids. Excessive consumption of Omega-6s without balancing Omega-3s can promote systemic inflammation in the body.
Sesame
Recently added as the 9th Major Allergen in the US. Sesame is often hidden in 'natural flavors' or spice blends, making it dangerous for allergic individuals.
Carmine (Cochineal Extract)
A red pigment made from crushed cochineal beetles. It is natural but can cause severe allergic reactions and is obviously not vegan.
Disodium Guanylate
Flavor enhancer (E627) often used with MSG. Dangerous for people with gout or kidney stones as it metabolizes into uric acid.
