Published in Judy More, Infant, Child and Adolescent Nutrition, 2021
The UK Food Standards Agency currently advises that the following colours should be avoided as research indicates they may affect children’s behaviour:Tartrazine (E102);Ponceau 4 R (E124);Sunset yellow FCF (E110);Carmosine (E122);Quinoline yellow (E104);Allura red AC (E129).

Dunaliella salina and Haematococcus pluvialis under stress conditions accumulate appreciable amounts of β-carotene and astaxanthin, respectively. These carotenoids are already in use as food colorants, vitamin supplements, food additives, and cosmetics ingredients.2 β-carotene exhibits a color range including yellow, orange, and red. Therefore, it is a better substitute for unsafe synthetic colorants, such as: tartrazine (E102), sunset yellow FCF (E110), erythrosine (E127), and allura red (E129). Further, β-carotene has an equivalent antioxidant activity as that of the synthetic antioxidants beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) and Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), etc.29
Food Additives
Published in Dongyou Liu, Handbook of Foodborne Diseases, 2018
Due partly to the limited number of in vitro and in vivo models or conditions used for assessment of individual food additives, and partly to the tendency by some individuals to overconsume additive-containing foods, adverse effects associated with food additives are not infrequently observed in human populations. Food additives that are potentially problematic include flavor enhancers (e.g., MSG, E621); colors (e.g., tartrazine, E102; yellow 2G, E107; sunset yellow FCF, E110; cochineal, E120); preservatives (e.g., benzoates, E210–213; nitrates, E249–252; sulfites, E220–225 and E228), and artificial sweeteners (e.g., aspartame, E951).

The AFCA mixture and doses used were as follows: erythrosine 10 mg/kg/day [30], ponceau 4R 70 mg/kg/day [31], allura red AC 700 mg/kg/day [32], sunset yellow FCF 250 mg/kg/day [33], tartrazine 750 mg/kg/day [34], amaranth 15 mg/kg/day [35], brilliant blue FCF 600 mg/kg/day [36], azorubine 400 mg/kg/day [37], and indigo carmine 500 mg/kg/day [38]. The doses used in this mixture were the NOAELs of each AFCA, which are considered safe for animals and are 100 times their ADI value for humans. To prepare the mixture, each AFCA compound was weighed and dissolved in water. The mixture was prepared weekly and stored at 4°C [21].
