Three separate readings, kept apart on purpose. This is not a score, and none of it says this product is harmful.
Additives (5)
This label lists 4 colours. 1 more we cannot place from the code alone.
E102
Tartrazine
Yellow colour
What it is. A synthetic lemon yellow dye.
Why it is used. Colours soft drinks, sweets, sauces and snacks.
What the evidence says. One of the Southampton Six colours linked in a 2007 UK study to increased hyperactivity in some children. The effect is modest and does not affect every child, but it was enough for a mandatory on pack warning.
UK and EU require the label to warn it may affect activity and attention in children. Permitted in the US without that warning.
Assessed against UK FSA, EFSA. Full entry for E102
E100
Curcumin
Yellow colour
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.
Permitted with maximum levels in the foods where it is allowed.
Assessed against EFSA, JECFA. Full entry for E100
Also on the label, not assessed here yet
- E120 Cochineal, carminic acid, carmines colour
- E128 Red 2G
- E131 Patent blue V colour
1 of these is not on the GB permitted list
E128 Red 2G — Suspended across the EU in 2007, after EFSA reported that it is converted in the body to aniline and could not conclude the resulting exposure was without concern. It was never restored.
Absent from Assimilated Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008, Annex II, the register of additives permitted in Great Britain. That is a statement about the food additive register and nothing else: several of these are permitted in medicines, where different rules apply, and this catalogue carries some entries that are not food. Our product data is crowd sourced and worldwide, so on something sold here a code from this list usually means an imported line, an out of date entry, or a mistake in the source rather than anything about the contents. It is not a statement that this product is unsafe, and the pack is the authority.
Names and jobs come from the register of additives permitted in Great Britain, which we have not finished transcribing: a code shown without a name is a gap in our coverage, not a finding that it is unapproved. Naming one is not grading it either. Full detail appears only where we have an assessment against a named authority, so all of this describes our coverage rather than these additives. Most are common and low concern.
