Just another reason to demand quality from the foods you choose to eat…
The European Parliament has adopted a legislative package that will see products containing any of six artificial colours labelled with a health warning for children.
Foods containing tartrazine (E102), quinoline yellow (E104), sunset yellow (E110), carmoisine (E122), ponceau 4R (E124) and allura red (E129), will have to be labelled “may have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children”.
The scary thing is not that foods with these colorants now carry a warning, it’s that these colors have been in our foods for decades.
If the ingredients in a food do not sound like things you would normally find in a kitchen, do not eat that food…it is becoming clear that this may be the best way to make good food choices.
