However, the product contains citric acid, sodium phosphate, and sodium triphosphate\u2014which can be considered additives. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe lawsuit asks for damages, meaning for anyone who bought these to get paid. \u2018Cause you likely relied on advertising, which they claim to be false when you bought the product,\u201d Angela says.<\/p>\n<p>Even though a natural version of citric acid exists, Angela notes that Kraft uses a form derived from a mold that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)  considers a preservative.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[The lawsuit] claims this artificial version is highly inflammatory, associated with bad health events like joint pain, swelling, and stiffness,\u201d she says. <\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit also says sodium phosphate and\/or triphosphate is a preservative.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-are-the-preservatives-in-kraft-mac-amp-cheese-safe\">Are the preservatives in Kraft mac &amp; cheese safe?<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/food\/food-ingredients-packaging\/food-additives-and-gras-ingredients-information-consumers\">The FDA<\/a> may agree that consumers are entitled to know what\u2019s in their food. However, it doesn\u2019t agree that preservatives like citric acid, sodium phosphate, and sodium triphosphate are dangerous for human consumption.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo these cases consult scientists to help make the verdict? False marketing, sure, but the harmful part I\u2019m weary about. Just cause it\u2019s artificial, a preservative, or from mold doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s bad,\u201d a viewer writes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPhosphates are naturally occurring salts. The source is immaterial. SALTS, molecules and such are isolated from any source, so the functional ingredients, like H2o, are perfectly acceptable in foods,\u201d another suggests.<\/p>\n<p>However, other viewers believe that Kraft was misleading\u2014and that the ingredients could be harmful.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor context, my son is allergic to corn. He\u2019s fine with natural citric acid, but the citric acid from corn mold causes him to have a serious reaction. So there is a big difference in marketing for some,\u201d one says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis explains why my daughter had chronic foot\/ankle pain for about 6 years. I stopped making the kids Mac n cheese multiple times a month and it\u2019s gotten 99% less frequent than before,\u201d another claims.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFreaking finally! People get so angry when I tell them to avoids citric acid\u2026 but it\u2019s literally NOT the same as juice from a lemon!\u201d a third adds.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@thelawyerangela\/video\/7437685171333221663\" data-video-id=\"7437685171333221663\" style=\"max-width: 605px;min-width: 325px\">\n<section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@thelawyerangela\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@thelawyerangela?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@thelawyerangela<\/a> Send this to your friends who \u2764\ufe0f mac &amp; cheese <a title=\"macandcheese\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/macandcheese?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#macandcheese<\/a> <a title=\"kraft\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/kraft?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#kraft<\/a> <a title=\"kraftmacandcheese\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/kraftmacandcheese?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#kraftmacandcheese<\/a> <a title=\"macaroniandcheese\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/macaroniandcheese?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#macaroniandcheese<\/a> <a title=\"cheese\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/cheese?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#cheese<\/a> <a title=\"classaction\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/classaction?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#classaction<\/a> <a title=\"lawsuit\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/lawsuit?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#lawsuit<\/a> <a title=\"lawyer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/lawyer?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#lawyer<\/a> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c original sound - \ud83d\udca5 LAWYER Angela \ud83d\udca5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-7437685135748746014?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c original sound \u2013 \ud83d\udca5 LAWYER Angela \ud83d\udca5<\/a> <\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-you-get-paid-from-the-class-action-lawsuit\">Can you get paid from the class action lawsuit?<\/h2>\n<p>Many asked in the comments where they could join the lawsuit in hopes of receiving compensation for previous Kraft purchases.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhere do I sign up!!!!!????\u201d one urges.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI need to sign up please,\u201d another says.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the enthusiasm, consumers can\u2019t claim compensation until the case is settled.
