Three separate readings, kept apart on purpose. This is not a score, and none of it says this product is harmful.

This label lists 1 colour.

E100 Curcumin
Yellow colour
No real concern strong evidence

What it is. The yellow pigment from turmeric root.

Why it is used. Colours mustards, sauces, dairy, confectionery and savoury snacks.

What the evidence says. A plant pigment people have eaten as a spice for a very long time, and regulators treat it as safe with an acceptable daily intake. EFSA noted that children who eat a lot of the foods it is used in could approach that intake, which is a reason to watch total use rather than a sign of harm.

Regulatory status UK Permitted EU Permitted US Permitted

Permitted with maximum levels in the foods where it is allowed.
