Preservatives are added to Small Axe Peppers' sauces to extend shelf life and prevent spoilage. These include artificial chemicals like sodium benzoate and citric acid.
Some preservatives may lead to allergies, digestive issues, and, in rare cases, hyperactivity or long-term health risks like heart problems or hormonal imbalance.
Preservatives can sometimes degrade the nutritional content of foods, reducing the natural vitamins and minerals found in peppers.
Certain individuals may develop allergic reactions, including skin rashes, throat irritation, or respiratory problems, from specific preservatives.
Prolonged consumption of artificial preservatives may contribute to chronic illnesses such as obesity, diabetes, or liver strain.
Some brands use natural preservation techniques like vinegar, salt, or refrigeration to avoid artificial chemicals, making them safer for health-conscious consumers.
Check the ingredient list for terms like "benzoates," "sulfites," or "nitrates" to identify artificial preservatives before purchasing.
Consuming Small Axe Peppers occasionally is unlikely to harm health, but choosing preservative-free options ensures better long-term well-being.
