Irn-Bru

E110 is extremely common, Irn-Bru seems an irrelevant example. --Bb3cxv 13:39, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

Good idea. A discusion of the ban would be interesting. FDA makes some strange rules that prohibit or have prohibited popular products, re: E950, Absinthe, and the warnings on Saccharine. If you're interested in writing the surrounding text, it'd make a good addition. -- Bb3cxv 03:46, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

They say this is a shrinkage in the girl's upper body part.

Are you guys sure that fd&c yellow #6 is the same thing as sunset yellow fcf? i see yellow 6 in products all the time in the USA, but apparently sunset yellow fcf is banned. someone may want to look into this...

You are right. FDA says it is legit. There seems to be an edit war on the page regarding this. E110 = FD&C Y #6. Full FDA info is at the FD&CY#6 regulation page. Edit war ends here and now. Bb3cxv 16:50, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

Yes and no, E102/Sunset Yellow FCF while chemically the same as FD&C Yellow #6, is not permitted in the USA. For any artifical food colouring to be permitted in the USA, a sample has to be tested by the FDA in their labs, and a tax paid, the size of which relates to the amount of the product being certified and has the same sample. The dye is typically manufactured in a batch process, of maximum size of around 1000kg, so it is generally the batch it is manufactured from. However as getting it certified as FD&C Yellow #6 is expensive, it is not uncommon for only part of a batch to be certified. There is large amounts of paper work that follow the batches around to prevent part of batch being certified and the whole batch being used as FD&C Yellow #6.

In most of the rest of the world (for example the E.U.) food dyes are self-certified by the manufacturers and no tax is paid. You could describe the situation in the USA as a "stealth tax" that the vast majority of the population is not aware of.

I am going to take the reference that it is banned in Finland of the main page as this is wrong. E110 is a permitted food colourant in the the E.U. and Finland is a member nation. It just simply cannot be legally banned in Finland.

what the heck does FCF stand for?

aren't we supposed to put newer topics at the top of the page? anyway, what the heck does FCF stand for? can't we use one of those HTML mouse-over things to indicate what this acronym stands for? --GrimRC 86.4.53.107 09:40, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

The FCF in a lot of the food colours stands (or so I was told) for "For Colouring Food", I worked for a year for a firm called Pointings who until they where taken over and shutdown where a major manufacturer of artificial food colourings, especially E102, and E110 in their various guises.

I've found two references in Google Books and one patent that support that statement:

Picture

In the picture, it shows N, Nitrogen in the middle of a double bond, while the Chemical Formula shows no Nitrogen in a molecule of this substance. Why is this? Which is wrong, the Chemical Formula or the picture. Thanks, Tcpekin 01:53, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Amaranth link

I want to point out that the link to Amaranth in the third paragraph leads to the article on the plant, not the synthetic dye. 140.142.199.42 (talk) 02:42, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Sunset Yellow FCF

The IUPAC name: Disodium 6-hydroxy-5--2-naphthalenesulfononate is slightly incorrect, it should be: Disodium 6-hydroxy-5--2-naphthalenesulfonate

(1) There are no chemical compounds knowns as "sulfononates" (1) I am a Ph.D. chemist and know this (2) You may also check http://www.acdlabs.com/iupac/nomenclature 70.57.188.7 (talk) 23:05, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Wow...it's tricky. It seems to have another IUPAC name and have a look at the following....

Appeal for publishing printed IUPAC name annually, or using CA index name alongside with IUPAC name for food related chemicals.

UK Ban

The article mentions that E110 would be banned in 2009 along with other colourings, I know for a fact that E110 is not banned here (drinking a bottle of irn bru with it in now) so perhaps someone could cite a more up to date source for this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.52.5.10 (talk) 14:43, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Norway ban

E110 was never totally banned, but allowed in certain products like fish roe. In 2007 this was relaxed further, so that E100 is allowed as long as no Sudan Red I can be detected, according to the Norwegian Food Safety Authority. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Geira (talk • contribs) 21:40, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Wavelength

Anyone here able to provide me/the users with a specific wavelength absorbance for Sunset Yellow FCF? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.254.168.248 (talk) 12:00, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

primary sources

MLPainless about this - We do not source health content to primary sources. What the EU did with that study and others later, yes. Not this. Jytdog (talk) 02:11, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

Several hundred million people fall under the FSA and EFSA, more than the FDA. The FSA commissioned a study and bases its health outlook and advice on that study. This is an historical fact and social reality, and this falls outside the ambit of MEDRS, which looks at medicine-related articles and information. A possible solution is to combine the health effects and regulations sections, since the two are essentially discussing the same thing. Moreover you'll notice that if you remove my edit, the FDA para. does not parse well, and nor does the following section, which starts with "As a result of these potential health issues,...".MLPainless (talk) 03:15, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
And back to MEDRS, note where it says : This page in a nutshell: Ideal sources for biomedical material include general or systematic reviews in reliable, third-party, published secondary sources, such as reputable medical journals, widely recognised standard textbooks written by experts in a field, or medical guidelines and position statements from nationally or internationally recognised expert bodies. The FSA and EFSA are just as much an expert bodies as the FDA. MLPainless (talk) 03:25, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
