While generally recognized as safe by regulatory bodies when used in food, tripotassium phosphate, like other phosphate additives, can pose health risks in excessive amounts or for individuals with specific conditions.
It's mainly a concern when consumed in large quantities or by those with kidney problems, heart conditions, or inflammatory bowel disease.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
FDA Approval:
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) generally recognizes tripotassium phosphate (as well as disodium phosphate and monopotassium phosphate) as safe for use in food.
Potential Risks:
High levels of phosphates, including tripotassium phosphate, have been linked to:
Kidney disease: Excess phosphate can strain the kidneys and exacerbate existing kidney problems.
Cardiovascular issues: High phosphate levels can contribute to heart problems, potentially through blood vessel calcification.
Bone health: Excess phosphate may interfere with calcium absorption, potentially impacting bone density.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD): Some evidence suggests a link between high phosphate levels and IBD.

What is the difference between Cheerios in Europe and USA?
Cheerios contain several different ingredients in the US and Europe. In the US, Cheerios often include genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and a long list of artificial additives. On the contrary, European Cheerios are free of GMOs and artificial preservatives.Nov 21, 2024

Has this happened to anyone else? When I try to change the S&S delivery date, it doesn't give me the option of my normal date.

Just checked the Cheerios and same thing June 30 delivery date with S&S not my normal date.
You can get both!
But at the same time, they can clearly make Cheerios without the phosphates, so maybe they should in the US too, but it's up to the US government or a large state like CA or TX to force them to do so.
