YELLOW 5 & YELLOW 6 DYE

The dye Yellow 5 is also known as tartrazine/E102. Its widely used in the making chips, jams, candy, drinks and even pet foods! Also known to be added to shampoo and other cosmetic products, some vitamins & certain medications.

" Yellow 5" is banned in Austria, Norway, and other European countries, ALL have issued warnings or even ban from the possible side effects but yet It is still freely & extensively used in the US! The Food Agriculture and the World Health Organization’s conducted a safety study and tested tartrazine in 2017.....concluded that "occasional exposure" to this food dye doesn't represent a significant health concern in children or adults, But did NOT disclose if " exposure" was indefinitely consumed daily.
