AUTHORITIES are reviewing alarming new scientific evidence that artificial colours found in thousands of common foods may pose a risk of cancer and hyperactivity or allergic reactions in children
Research in the States calls for the food colours to be banned.
These synthetic chemicals do absolutely nothing to improve the nutritional quality or safety of foods, but trigger behavior problems in children and, possibly, cancer in anybody
The colours include the widely used yellow 5, also known as tartrazine (E102); yellow 6, or sunset yellow (E110); blue 1, (133), red 40 or allura red (E129) and red 3 (E127).
Food Standards Australia New Zealand, along with its American counterpart the Food and Drug Administration, is closely looking at the latest findings
Wonder how long before we see an official reaction and notification here in New Zealand?
