Food Facts verifies Ingredients before we label them as Controversial. All of our controversial ingredients are highlighted in orange to help you easily identify them. You can also click on them for more information.

Information comes from FDA (Food and Drug Administration), CSPI (Center for Science in the Public Interest), other nations (Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany) institutions of higher learning, medical institutions and other independent, non-biased groups.

We will not state that you can’t eat any foods or ingredients, since we have a responsibility to impartially inform you what others are claiming.

Food Facts forms an expert and independent consensus. For example, if the FDA states that blue 1 has been known to cause a health issue, and our research indicates that some of the same concerns exist from other nations and organizations, we will determine that the item is Controversial
