Ingredients (10)

• Carbonated Water (safe) — Just water with CO2; harmless base.
• Sugar (moderate) — Added sugar sitting ahead of cocoa; the main flavor driver here.

• Carmoisine (E122) (concerning) — Synthetic azo dye; flagged for possible hyperactivity in children and banned in some countries.
• Tartrazine (E102) (concerning) — Synthetic yellow azo dye associated with hyperactivity and allergic reactions in sensitive people.
• Ponceau 4R (E124) (concerning) — Synthetic red azo dye banned in the US and several countries over safety concerns.
• Brilliant Blue FCF (E133) (moderate) — Synthetic blue dye, purely cosmetic with no benefit.
