Composition of dye E110 Yellow Sunset FCF. Harm and properties of the E110 dye. E110 - Yellow “sunset” E110 additive

Date of publication: 14.11.2013

Food additive E110 or yellow dye, or "sunset", is also called "orange yellow S". This food additive belongs to the group of water-soluble dyes. It is most often used to color foods that are fermented during heat treatment. Chemical formula: C16H10Na2O7S2N2.

E110 side effects

This dye is a sulfonated version of the highly dangerous Sudan 1 dye, which is inherently carcinogenic. Also, E110 can cause allergic reactions, most often people who cannot tolerate aspirin are "under attack". In addition, side effects include urticaria, rhinitis, nausea, chromosomal damage, and kidney swelling. Also, this dietary supplement can cause vomiting, food rejection, indigestion, and wandering abdominal pain.

The children's diet should be completely safe from taking this supplement. Otherwise, it can cause loss of concentration and hyperactivity in children. This pattern has been scientifically supported by several studies conducted by the UK Food Standards Authority (FSA).

This food additive is banned in many countries around the world, for example, in America, Norway and Finland.
At present, on the initiative of the European Union, the search for a replacement for the E110 has begun. In Europe, in 2008, a bill was passed, according to which all products with the addition of "sunset" and many other dyes must contain in their annotations a warning about the likely effect on hyperactivity in children. The very next year, Europe reduced the maximum allowable daily intake of supplements per body weight.

What products are colored with E110 additive?

I use the yellow "sunset" for coloring many products, in particular lemon curd, canned fish, orange zucchini, many oriental spices, cheese sauce, packaged soups, crackers, etc.
In addition, the additive can often be found in jams, glaze, marmalade and even such a favorite delicacy as ice cream.
E110 dye is also added in the manufacture of apricot and orange jelly, alcoholic and soft drinks, marzipans and hot chocolate.
Often the additive can be found in combination with the same food additive E123 to obtain a brown color (caramel or chocolate).

So far, no research has been conducted on artificial food additives in either Russia or Ukraine. Those additives that have been approved in Europe as dangerous or safe. More than 50 years ago, in these countries, the norms for the consumption of various food additives were approved. Naturally, these days this information has lost any relevance. It is likely that those rates were actually safe, or believed to be, as they were used at much lower rates than they are now. But be that as it may, each state has the right to choose which and how many food additives and dyes to use in the food industry. So, for example, once in America they used about 2 thousand additives, and in Germany 365, but over time, European scientists began to study more carefully each additive and came to the conclusion that many of them are very dangerous.

Over the past 10 years, the use of about 200 types of food additives has been banned in the Russian Federation, while in Ukraine there are only 7. Moreover, all the harmful additives that were banned in these countries have not been used in Europe for a long time.

Where are food manufacturers looking?

It often happens that manufacturers do not indicate harmful food colors and additives on their labels, although such a step is a direct violation of consumer rights law. Because buyers should be informed about the full composition of the product and whether they can harm their health. But at the same time, the law allows manufacturers to choose which colorants and in what quantities to use. Also, the manufacturer may not indicate that there is a colorant in the product. If the manufacturer sets a goal for himself - to obtain an ideal quality certificate, then he will be able to bypass all regulatory authorities without any problems. And in turn, consumers will never know what additives and in what quantities are used in different food products.

But even if the manufacturer honestly indicates on the label the full composition of the additives and puts them in accordance with the norm, this still will not make the product useful. Because in the past few years, at least half of the food contains food additives and dyes, and how many of them per day we eat is very difficult to calculate.
Doctors recommend to "pass" by all food and synthetic additives that may be in our body. Since no one knows what actually happens to the body when these supplements are absorbed.

In the past few years, the level of diseases of various forms and types of allergies has greatly increased; more than 60% of the country's population already suffer from this disease. Even newborn babies suffer from allergies, and it is worth noting that this is a catastrophic problem.
Also, doctors recommend not to give children colorful products, even if there is no information on dyes on the label.
If you saw the following values \u200b\u200bon the packaging: E102, E110, E124, E131, E152, E153, then never buy such products, they can be dangerous especially for people with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and allergies.

Sunset yellow dye (food additive E110), also called orange yellow S, belongs to the group of water-soluble dyes. The chemical formula of the additive E110: C 16 H 10 Na 2 O 7 S 2 N 2. E110 synthetic dye, especially effective for coloring products that undergo fermentation during heat treatment.

Effect on the body

Harm

Sunset Yellow (E110 food additive) is a sulfonated version of the dangerous Sudan I dye, which is a carcinogen. Because of this, the dye may be present in the E110 dyeSudan I as an impurity. In addition, the E110 dye alone can lead to allergic reactions, especially in people with aspirin intolerance. Other side effects of E110 supplementation may include: nausea, hives (rash), nasal congestion, rhinitis (runny nose), kidney swelling, chromosomal damage. Food supplement E110 is often the cause of indigestion, vomiting, abdominal pain, and food rejection.

You should not allow the use of the E110 supplement in the children's diet, in order to avoid hyperactive behavior and loss of concentration in children. This pattern has been scientifically proven in recent research by the UK Food Standards Agency (FSA).

Benefit

Due to its synthetic origin, the additive E102 is not characteristic of living organisms. There is currently no scientific evidence on the benefits of tartrazine.

Using

E110 additive is used for coloring many products: orange zucchini, lemon curd, cheese sauce, canned fish, crackers, oriental spices, packaged soups. E110 food additive is often added to icing, jams, ice cream and marmalade. Also, E110 dye is used in the manufacture of orange and apricot jelly, hot chocolate, marzipans and soft and hard drinks. E110 additive is often used in combination with E123 food additive in order to obtain brown color (chocolate and caramel color).

Legislation

Sunset dye, as a food additive E110, is prohibited in many countries of the world, for example, in Finland, Norway, and the USA.

At the initiative of the European Union, an active search for a replacement for the E110 dye is underway. In 2008, a law was passed in Europe, according to which all products containing the E110 additive and a number of other dyes must contain a warning about their possible effect on hyperactivity in children. In 2009, in Europe, the maximum permissible daily intake of the E110 food additive per kilogram of body was reduced. In 2010-2011, European countries plan to completely abandon the use of sunset yellow (E110) in the food industry.

In Russia and Ukraine, unfortunately, the E110 food additive is approved for use in the food industry.

The substance, which received, mainly due to its color, the name Yellow with a beautiful continuation "sunset" belongs to a rather impressive group of food additives. It is registered as E110.

Danger: increased

Origin: synthetic

E110 is called: sunset, Sunset Yellow FSF, yellow-orange S, Orange Yellow SE-110, yellow “sunset”, E 110, sleepy zad.

General information

Food additive E110 is characterized as a substance that is directly related to a rather dangerous, carcinogenic dye called Sudan I. "Sunset in the sun" is its sulfonated version. In this regard, E110 may contain admixtures of Sudan I.

If you reproduce the chemical formula Sunset Yellow FSF, as the dye is also called, it looks like this: C16 H10 Na2 O7 S2 N2. One can add to the characteristics that E110 dissolves quite easily in water and has a rich color palette. Using it for coloring products that undergo fermentation during heat treatment is especially effective.

Effect on the body

Harm

Since E110 may contain impurities of another dye, and a rather dangerous one, which is a carcinogen, Sudan I, then automatically yellow-orange S, as it is also called, is ranked among those harmful to the human body.

E110 is considered a potent allergen. Adverse reactions to this product may include rhinitis, nasal congestion, urticaria (an inflammatory rash on the skin), nausea, and vomiting. The use of this dye, which is part of the products, can lead to chromosomal damage, as well as swelling of the kidneys, suffocation, and problems with the gastrointestinal tract.

The consequences of the ingestion of toxic elements E110 into a child's body are especially dangerous. Numerous studies and testing prove the effect of the dye (food) on the manifestation in children. The harmful substances in E110 can reduce the concentration of a child's attention. This negative impact is scientifically proven. Research has been carried out in particular in the UK by the Food Standards Agency.

Benefit

Since the E102 supplement is a completely synthetic product, there is no data on its benefits for humans as a whole.

Using

The dye with the name "Sunset Sunset" is used in the production of various semi-finished and canned foods to give them a more profitable presentation. For example, orange zucchini, cheese sauce, lemon curd, canned fish, crackers, oriental spices, and dry soups in instant bags are dyed with it.

You can often see this additive in the composition of glaze, jam, marmalade, ice cream, jelly (in particular orange or apricot), hot packaged chocolate, marzipans, various drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic).

In addition, an additive with the E 110 code can be combined with a dye under the E123 code in order to obtain a brownish tint in the product (this combination is used in the production of chocolate and caramel).

Legislation

Many countries of the world have a ban on the use of E110 additive in food production. These countries include France, USA, Norway.

The European Union put forward requirements for scientists to find a replacement for this dye with a more useful and safe for human health back in 2008. The requirement was also put forward to mark all products with the content of "sunset" with a special inscription - a warning that hyperactivity may develop in childhood if consumed.

The year 2009 was marked by the release in the EU legislation of a bill to reduce the daily dosage allowed for use of this dye. And since 2011, in the countries of the European Union, E110 has been banned for use in food.

The countries of Ukraine and Russia have not yet signed such a law. And here this additive is used quite widely.

Food additives E110 - E119 are orange dyes. Formally, dyes in food (we will leave the use of dyes to dye non-food items, for example, fabrics, outside the scope of this material) are only needed to make food look colorful. However, unscrupulous manufacturers can use dyes for other purposes: to hide a low-quality or expired product, to pass one product after another, etc. Plus, not all food colors are useful or even harmless, some are carcinogens or food poisons, allergens.

Today, most dyes are synthetic. Natural dyes, with rare exceptions, are harmless or even useful.

As with any material in the Glossary of Food Additives, the following conventions apply:

The food supplement is safe for health.
♦ - the food additive is conditionally safe for health. Animal studies and observations of people eating it (or using it in cosmetics, etc.) have not shown any clear positive or negative effects.
♣ - The food additive is not safe for certain groups or all people. Read the description of the possible effects on the body carefully.
♠ - The food additive is inedible, unsafe, or toxic. Do not buy, use or eat foods that contain it.

♣ E110 Sunset yellow (orange yellow S)

Despite the name, it refers to orange dyes. Has an orange-yellow color. In fact, it is the product of sulfonation of the Sudan I dye, which is a carcinogen. Due to imperfect production technology, Sudan-I may be present in E110 as an impurity. Therefore, since there is no guarantee that there will be no carcinogen, it is recommended that this dietary supplement be avoided.

By itself, a yellow sunset can act as an allergen, causing hives, rhinitis, nasal congestion. Moreover, both alone and (especially!) In combination with benzoic acid and its salts (E210 - E213) can lead to hyperactivity and cause attention deficit in preschool and primary school children.

Food additive E110 is prohibited for use in some countries, but it is allowed in Russia and Ukraine.

Our advice : If you are allergic, exclude foods with this supplement from your food basket. It is also not recommended for children under 14 years of age. We recommend everyone else to buy them only if there is no alternative.

♠ E111 Alpha Naphthol Orange or Orange GGN

Orange food coloring. Today it is banned for use in food production in all European countries, the USA, Canada, Japan, Australia, Ukraine and Russia due to its toxicity. However, remember that it can be used in Southeast Asia.

Our advice : Selling food products with food additive E111 in the territories of the Russian Federation and Ukraine is illegal. We recommend not only not to purchase and eat such products, but also to contact the supervisory authorities on the fact that such a product is on sale.

♣ E112 Karmazin (Carmoisine, Azorubin)

Red synthetic food coloring, in very low concentrations, is capable of imparting orange color to food, therefore it was originally classified as E112 orange food coloring. At the moment, it has the E122 index in the system, but sometimes it is found on food labels as E112, therefore it is called phantom.

Banned in a number of European countries, the USA, Canada, Japan due to its ability to cause urticaria, other types of allergies, and provoke asthma attacks. It was also found that E112, aka E122, like 5 other dyes, in combination with benzoates and the benzoic acid itself (food additives E210 - E213) can lead to increased hyperactivity and decreased concentration in primary school and preschool children.

There is not yet fully verified evidence that the use of carmasin can lead to a dysfunction of the adrenal cortex. Carcinogenicity tests of this food additive are also underway.

Carmoisine is not prohibited for use on the territory of Ukraine and the Russian Federation.

Our advice : If you are allergic, asthmatic or aspirin-intolerant, eliminate foods containing this supplement from your food basket. It is also not recommended for children under 14 years of age. We recommend everyone else to buy them only if there is no alternative.
