An update on my post of April 9. The UK’s Food Safety Agency has recommended that the six artificial food colourings implicated in a recent study should be removed from food products.
The six chemicals involved are: sunset yellow (E110), quinoline yellow (E104), carmoisine (E122), allura red (E129), tartrazine (E102) and ponceau 4R (E124)
For people in Australia, the numbers to look out for are: 102 (tartrazine), 104 (quinoline yellow) 110 (sunset yellow FCF), 122 (Azorubine or carmoisine), 124 (Ponceau 4R) and 129 (Allura red AC).
Note, that Australia/NZ numbers are the same as the European E-numbers.
