Like many closely related phenol antioxidants, BHT has low acute toxicity [6] (e.g., the desmethyl analog of BHT, 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol, has an LD 50 of >9 g/kg [11]). The US Food and Drug Administration classifies BHT as generally recognized as safe (GRAS) food preservative when used in an approved manner.
"It contains BHT, which is a possible carcinogen, not to mention the very high saturated fat and sodium levels," Masterson says. There's 410 milligrams of sodium in a serving, as well as 3.5 grams ...
Many gases have toxic properties, which are often assessed using the LC 50 (median lethal concentration) measure. In the United States, many of these gases have been assigned an NFPA 704 health rating of 4 (may be fatal) or 3 (may cause serious or permanent injury), and/or exposure limits (TLV, TWA/PEL, STEL, or REL) determined by the ACGIH professional association.
Inorganic mercury (elemental mercury) is less bioavailable and less toxic than that of organic mercury but is still toxic, nonetheless. It is released into the environment through both natural sources as well as human activity, and it has the capability to travel long distances through the atmosphere. [22]
Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) is a synthetic, waxy, solid petrochemical.Its antioxidant properties have caused it to be widely used as a preservative in food, food packaging, animal feed, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, rubber, and petroleum products. [3]

1. Ritz Crackers. Wouldn't ya know, a cracker that's all the rage in America is considered an outrage abroad. Ritz crackers are outlawed in several other countries, including the United Kingdom ...
Tin has no known natural biological role in living organisms. It is not easily absorbed by animals including humans. The low toxicity is relevant to the widespread use of tin in dinnerware and canned food. [1] Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea have been reported after ingesting canned food containing 200 mg/kg of tin.
