Ingredients Analysis (22 found)

Natural Flavor
⚠️5/10
Natural flavor is a vague label that can cover many ingredients. It is used to make products taste better. For most 6 to 12 month olds small amounts are unlikely to cause harm, but the lack of disclosure increases the risk of allergy or intolerance.
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.
Confidence: MEDIUM
Cinnamon
