Hello, I’ve been using jimmy joy for around a year recently I downloaded the “Yuka” app to find out that jimmy joy has a dangerous additive diphosphates E450 ( see pictures) I have checked the previous post on that topic last year but sadly the point was not addressed.
I would like to know if Jimmy Joy contains E450 and if it’s recommended to be consumed daily as I usually do. I am very worried because E450 is linked with increased chances of heart attacks and I come from a family with heart attack history.
looking forward to your responses and thanks in advance.
Yes, the vitamin and mineral mix we use for our products contains sodium and potassium polyphosphate. In the EU , phosphates are authorized as food additives and the epidemiological studies reviewed by the EFSA panel did not find consistent associations between dietary phosphorous intake and cardiovascular-related outcomes (the last report was in 2019). The EVM (Expert Group on Vitamins and Minerals) further concluded that a total intake of 2,400 mg/day (considering 2,110 mg/day inorganic phosphorus from food including food additives and water and 250 mg/day from supplemental phosphorus) does not result in any adverse effects. Here you can find more information (but I think you already had a look at the scientific sources provided by Yukka ).
We follow the nutritional values recommended for an average adult. However, it would be better to discuss this matter with your doctor if you think you have a predisposition that can be affected by E450.
