Three separate readings, kept apart on purpose. This is not a score, and none of it says this product is harmful.

This label lists 2 sweeteners, 1 emulsifier and 1 additive. 1 more we cannot place from the code alone.

E955 Sucralose
Artificial sweetener
Low moderate evidence

What it is. An intense sweetener made from sugar, around 600 times sweeter, so it is used in very small amounts.

Why it is used. Sweetens diet drinks, tabletop sweeteners, dairy and baked goods.

What the evidence says. Regulators have treated it as safe for decades and the acceptable daily intake has not changed. Newer laboratory work on a breakdown product, and the general question of sweeteners and the gut microbiome, keep it under discussion, but that work is early and has not moved any official position.

Regulatory status UK Permitted EU Permitted US Permitted

Permitted with an acceptable daily intake in all three regions.

Assessed against EFSA, JECFA. Full entry for E955

E322 Lecithin
Emulsifier
No real concern strong evidence

What it is. A natural emulsifier, usually from soya or sunflower.

Why it is used. Keeps chocolate smooth and stops ingredients separating.

What the evidence says. Safe and widely used. Only relevant if the source, such as soya, is an allergen for you.

Regulatory status UK Permitted EU Permitted US Permitted

Permitted freely. Source allergen must be declared.

Assessed against EFSA, JECFA. Full entry for E322

Names and jobs come from the register of additives permitted in Great Britain, which we have not finished transcribing: a code shown without a name is a gap in our coverage, not a finding that it is unapproved. Naming one is not grading it either. Full detail appears only where we have an assessment against a named authority, so all of this describes our coverage rather than these additives. Most are common and low concern.

As printed on the pack, in the producer's own order: ingredients are listed by weight, so what comes first is most of what is in it. E numbers link to their assessment where we have one.
