Yellow 5

Irritant/sensitizer potential, allergy and hypersensitivity reactions including urticaria and asthma, possible behavioral effects in sensitive children, regulatory limits on use concentration

Blue 1

Potential for allergic reactions and hypersensitivity in sensitive individuals, possible behavioral effects in children, regulatory restrictions in some countries

Red 40

Irritation, potential allergenic reactions, regulatory scrutiny for behavioral effects in children

Natural and Artificial Flavor

Lack of transparency, potential for allergenic or irritant components, ultra-processing, no nutritional value

Monosodium Glutamate

Irritation in sensitive individuals, rare cases of headache or flushing (so-called MSG symptom complex), excessive intake linked to sodium load

Caramel color

Potential for minor gastrointestinal irritation, possible presence of contaminants like 4-MEI in some types, regulatory limits on 4-MEI levels
