Sucralose is the flagged ingredient Monster Energy Company uses most
Across the 61 Monster Energy Company products scored here, Sucralose appears in 25. Only 1,692 other brands here use it (4.8%), 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 | Monster Energy Company products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Sucralose | 25 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Acesulfame Potassium | 10 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Caramel Coloring | 3 | Restricted: California (Prop 65 warning for 4-MEI) |
| Carrageenan | 2 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
Counts are products in this database whose ingredient list names the flagged ingredient. Flags come from FDA enforcement actions, CSPI Chemical Cuisine ratings and US state ingredient laws; see the methodology for how each source is applied.
Visible product sample
Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 50 concern-sorted Monster Energy Company 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 (8.5 ingredients and 90/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.
