Corona Extra

Classified by WHO's IARC as a Group 1 carcinogen — definitively known to cause cancer in humans. Even moderate alcohol consumption is causally linked to cancers of the breast, colon, esophagus, larynx, liver, and oropharynx. There is no safe level of alcohol consumption per the WHO (2023).

Brewing water; the dominant ingredient by volume.

The primary glyphosate-residue vector in beer. Conventional barley in North America is commonly sprayed with glyphosate (Roundup) as a pre-harvest desiccant to dry the grain uniformly for combine harvesting; residues persist through malting, mashing, and fermentation.

Adjunct grain almost certainly sourced from conventional GMO corn — itself a glyphosate-spray candidate, compounding residue exposure on top of the barley.

Whole hop flowers — traditional ingredient with mild antimicrobial polyphenols (xanthohumol, isohumulones).

Saccharomyces strain used for fermentation; not a health concern.

Synthetic vitamin C added as an oxygen scavenger to extend shelf stability.

Synthetic foam stabilizer — an ester of propylene glycol (an industrial solvent precursor). FDA-permitted but rare in traditional brewing; signals industrial-scale formulation.
