Also known as BHA
A synthetic antioxidant preservative that stops fats going rancid — flagged as a possible carcinogen.
What it is
BHA preserves fats and oils in snacks, cereals and chewing gum by preventing oxidation.
Health concern
The US National Toxicology Program lists BHA as 'reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen' based on animal data.
The verdict
Best avoided where you can — a preservative many clean-label brands have already dropped.
