⚠️ Moderate Caution
While free from the most dangerous additives, we detected Caramel Color. The brown color in colas. Class III and IV caramel coloring contain 4-MEI, a chemical byproduct that is a possible human carcinogen. It is generally safe in small amounts but worth noting for sensitive diets.
