E110 Jaune soleil FCF, Jaune orangé S

E110 Jaune soleil FCF, Jaune orangé S "This additive is concerned by a study suggesting a possible link between the consumption of azo dyes, associated with the preservative sodium benzoate (E211), and hyperactivity in children. In a report specifically devoted to this study known as the Southampton study, the European Food Safety Authority (Efsa) somewhat mitigates the conclusions. Nevertheless, the results provided by this study show a significant impact on specific individuals sensitive to food additives in general or dyes in particular. Foods containing E110 must obligatorily mention ""May have adverse effects on activity and attention in children"". Allergic reactions are also mentioned by some sources but there is no conclusive reference. Finally, contradictory studies exist on potentially genotoxic effects of this additive. Maximum use limits have been revised downwards in recent years."
