We're unhappy little vegemites

My 12 month old girl has just taken a liking to vegemite, which prompted me to check the additives on the label and I was surprised to find the following additives in vegemite...

220 Sulphar dioxide - Asthmatics should avoid, gastric irritation/damage, hyperactivity, behavioural problems, possible mutagen. Can be fatal to asthmatics.

150d Caramel iv Sulphite Ammonia Caramel - Linked to gastro intestinal problems, hypersensitivity.

508 Potassium chloride - Associated with gastric ulcers, circulatory collapse, nausea, liver toxicity. Should NOT be given to children.

I think I'll stick to cheese on toast or Jam.
