Tested on animals such as mice, rats, and dogs. Beagle dogs were fed Brilliant Blue FCF in the diet for periods up to 1 year to determine the maximum amount of chemical one could ingest before it caused death.
Previously banned in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Norway, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland (among others) but is “certified safe” as a food additive in the EU and the US. It causes allergic reactions in humans, particularly in individuals with pre-existing conditions.

FD&C Yellow No. 5 – Tartrazine
Tested on animals such as mice and rats. From one study, “At the end of week 13, all rats were deprived of food, but not water, overnight and then blood samples were collected via the abdominal aorta for hematology and serum biochemistry. Animals were then killed by exsanguination from the abdominal aorta.”
Yellow No. 5 is an unqualified human health hazard. It’s hard enough to fathom why any artificial color is permitted in regulated food, let alone this toxic mess.
