Toxicity
Because it is well established as a yellow food dye, Tartrazine is subject to a great deal of research on safety in many countries. Tartrazine has been claimed to cause allergic and intolerance reactions. Because of the problem of Tartrazine intolerance, the United States requires the presence of Tartrazine to be declared on food and drug products. There have been periodic allegations that consumption of Tartrazine, possibly in association with a common preservative, is associated with hyperactivity disorders. Several national food agencies have recommended a voluntary phase-out of Tartrazine .
History
Tartrazine is a yellow dye used primarily in foods, drugs, and cosmetics. It is derived from coal tar.
