Additives

Each additive links to its full risk profile.

Hydrogenated OilsPartial hydrogenation creates industrial trans fat — the clearest diet–heart harm in the literature; fully hydrogenated raises interesterification questions.high
Interesterified FatsThe trans-fat replacement; early human data show worse glucose and lipid responses than native fats.high
Added Phosphates (listed)Text-listed phosphate salts: highly absorbable phosphorus load.medium
Added SugarAdded sucrose; the dose makes the poison and packaged doses run high.medium
Bleached FlourChlorine/benzoyl-peroxide treated flour; alloxan traces, EU does not permit bleaching.medium
Calcium PropionateThe common sliced-bread propionate; same concern as E280.medium
DiphosphatesInorganic phosphate load; EFSA 2019 group ADI pressure.medium
Mono/DiglyceridesUbiquitous emulsifier; can carry trans-fat residues and belongs to the mucus-disrupting class under study.medium
Soybean OilHigh-linoleic industrial seed oil; heavy refining and omega-6 skew.medium
Fumaric AcidFruit acid.low
Riboflavin (B2)Vitamin B2 used as a yellow color.low
Sodium CarbonatesBaking soda.low
Sorbic AcidWell-studied preservative metabolized like a fatty acid.low
