Please help - May have added wrong coolant to my BRZ

Hey Guys,

I just bought my certified pre owned BRZ (20k miles) from the dealership on Friday. When I got home I noticed that the coolant was at the low mark in the reservoir. Not thinking anything of it, I filled it with some coolant that I used in my other car that I traded in.

After doing a bit of reading I saw that Subaru uses its own brand of coolant for the BRZ. The manual Says to use Ethylene Glycol based, non silicate, non-anime, non-nitrite, and non-borate. From what I can tell the coolant I added is ethylene glycol based but I don't know about the other chemicals in it (see pictures below).

I'm a bit paranoid because I also read somewhere that if you mix 2 different types of coolant bad things could happen. Do you think I will be ok with the coolant I added, or should I have it flushed and replaced with the genuine Subaru coolant?
