Avoid Food Additives

These additives have substantial evidence of harm and/or have been banned in multiple major jurisdictions based on safety concerns. We recommend avoiding products containing these additives. Some are banned in the EU but still permitted in the US, or vice versa — their continued use in some markets reflects regulatory lag, not safety.
