Ingredients Analysis (19 found)

BHT
⚠️5/10
BHT is a synthetic antioxidant used to preserve fats in foods. It has moderate safety concerns due to potential toxicity and limited data in children over 5 years.
Cancer - Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT) has shown evidence of being a possible carcinogen in animal studies, with some regulatory agencies listing it as a possible human carcinogen.
Organ Risk - High doses of BHT have been linked to liver and kidney effects in animal studies, raising concerns about organ toxicity with repeated or high exposure.
Hormones - Some studies suggest BHT may have endocrine-disrupting properties, potentially interfering with hormone function.
Builds Up - BHT is a fat-soluble compound and can accumulate in body tissues over time with repeated exposure.
Long-Term Risk - Long-term exposure to BHT has been associated with chronic health effects in animal studies, though human data is limited.
Banned - BHT is banned or restricted in certain countries for use in food products due to safety concerns.
Confidence: HIGH
artificial flavor
⚠️5/10
Artificial flavors are a broad category with some safety concerns and potential sensitivities. Used to enhance taste in baby foods for 5 plus years old but should be used with caution.
Long-Term Risk - Artificial flavors are a broad category of synthetic chemicals, some of which have been linked in animal studies and limited human data to potential long-term health effects, especially with repeated exposure in early life. The lack of transparency about specific chemicals used increases uncertainty about their safety for babies.
Organ Risk - Certain artificial flavoring agents have been associated with organ toxicity in animal studies, particularly affecting the liver and kidneys after repeated ingestion. Babies are more vulnerable due to their developing organs.
Immune system - Some artificial flavors may alter immune responses or increase the risk of allergies, especially in infants with developing immune systems.
ADHD/ADD - There is some evidence linking artificial food additives, including certain artificial flavors, to increased hyperactivity and attention issues in children, though the evidence is not conclusive for all artificial flavors.
Confidence: HIGH
marshmallows
⚠️5/10
Marshmallows contain sugar and gelatin which are generally safe for children over 5 but can pose choking risk and are not nutritionally beneficial in baby food or formula.
No Known Risk - Marshmallow (the plant Althaea officinalis) is generally considered safe for consumption, including for babies, with no evidence linking it to any of the listed risks. There are no known reports or research indicating it causes irritation, allergies, hormone disruption, cancer, or other health concerns in infants when used appropriately.
Confidence: HIGH
natural flavor
⚠️4/10
Natural flavor is a non specific term for many flavoring ingredients. For kids 5 and older risk is usually low but uncertain because the exact substances are not named.
No Known Risk - Natural flavor is a broad term for flavoring substances derived from natural sources. While the exact composition can vary, current research and regulatory reviews have not identified immediate health risks for babies when used in typical amounts in consumable products. There is no strong evidence linking natural flavors to specific health risks in infants, so an abundance of caution suggests it is generally considered safe.
