Ingredient Decoder

High Risk Additives

Red 40 (Allura Red)

A synthetic petroleum-based dye used to create bright red colors in candy and drinks. It has been linked to hyperactivity and attention issues in sensitive children. Banned in parts of Europe for use in baby food.

Sodium Benzoate

A preservative used in acidic foods like soda and pickles. When mixed with Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), it can form Benzene, a known human carcinogen.

Moderate Caution

Yellow 6 (Sunset Yellow)

A synthetic food dye used in cheese, candy, and soda. Some animal studies have linked it to adrenal tumors, though the FDA currently deems it safe for consumption.

Erythritol

A popular sugar alcohol. While generally keto-friendly, recent 2023 studies have associated high blood levels of erythritol with an increased risk of blood clotting and stroke.
