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

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.

Ascorbic Acid, Cellulose, Zinc Oxide, Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, Cross-linked Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose, Magnesium Stearate, Silicon Dioxide, Polyvinyl Alcohol, Antioxidant (Tartaric Acid)

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.
