carrageenan
⚠️4/10
Carrageenan is used as a thickener but some studies link it to gut inflammation so caution is advised in young children
Organ Risk - Some animal studies have linked degraded carrageenan (poligeenan) to gastrointestinal inflammation and ulcerations, raising concerns about potential organ risk with chronic exposure, though food-grade carrageenan is considered safer.
Immune system - Some research suggests carrageenan may trigger immune responses or inflammation in the gut, which could be a concern for infants with developing immune systems.
Confidence: MEDIUM
cocoa processed with alkali
✅3/10
Cocoa processed with alkali is commonly used in foods and generally safe in small amounts but contains caffeine and theobromine which may affect young children. Likely in flavored baby foods.
No Known Risk - Cocoa powder (alkalized) is generally recognized as safe for consumption, including by babies in small amounts. There is no strong evidence linking it to any of the listed risks when used in typical food amounts. While cocoa contains small amounts of caffeine and theobromine, these are not present at levels considered harmful in normal dietary exposure, and no major health agencies have flagged alkalized cocoa powder as a risk for babies.
