The FSAI recommends that parents read food labels when buying products so that they can identify if they contain these food colours and thus, they can make an informed purchasing decision.

* All additives used in a food or drink are required by law to be listed by either name or e-number on the product’s label. The artificial food colours examined in this study were;
Tartrazine (E102)
Ponceau 4R (E124)
Sunset Yellow (E110)
Carmoisine (E122)
Quinoline Yellow (E104)
Allura Red (E129)
