Acesulfame Potassium is the flagged ingredient Dentyne uses most
Across the 33 Dentyne products scored here, Acesulfame Potassium appears in 30. Only 929 other brands here use it (2.6%), which makes it a more particular choice than the flags that dominate the catalogue. A flag records that a named source raised a concern about an ingredient. It is not a finding that a product is unsafe to eat.
| Flagged ingredient | Dentyne products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Acesulfame Potassium | 30 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Aspartame | 29 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Sucralose | 25 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| BHT | 23 | Preservative with a recorded concern |

Visible product sample
Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 33 concern-sorted Dentyne records shown below. Horizontal position is the number of resolved ingredients on that product's stored label; vertical position is its source-derived screening score. The dashed medians (15 ingredients and 25/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.
