Research behind this
Food additives and hyperactive behaviour in 3-year-old and 8/9-year-old children: a randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial
A mix of artificial colours and sodium benzoate increased hyperactivity in children in the general population. The basis for the EU warning label.
Scientific Opinion on the re-evaluation of Tartrazine (E 102)
Re-evaluated the acceptable daily intake and reviewed intolerance and behavioural evidence; ADI retained at 7.5 mg/kg bw/day.
Toxicology and carcinogenesis studies of 4-methylimidazole in F344/N rats and B6C3F1 mice
Found lung tumours in mice exposed to 4-MEI, a by-product of some caramel colours. Basis for California's Proposition 65 warning level.
Cleaner alternatives
This product is rated High concern. Rated High concern because the pack contains colours that are restricted or banned in major markets: azorubine (E122) is not permitted in the US or Canada, amaranth (E123) has been banned in the US since 1976, and tartrazine (E102) and sunset yellow (E110) require the EU children's-attention warning.
