Up to 50 names, one per line. Similar derivatives are not automatically included.

A match is a starting point

It means a listed name matches a check you selected. It does not identify an allergy, measure concentration or guarantee how a formula will feel. Each check has a specific scope, and some names have missing check information. Recognising a name does not establish a safety assessment.

What is included in these checks?
