Notes:
a wster pollutant. Food dye Azorubine is commonly used in the UK and in several other countries in a popular soda brand, but it is a prohibited food additive in Canada, Japan, Norway, Sweden and the United States.; Azorubine, carmoisine, Food Red 3, Azorubin S, Brillantcarmoisin O, Acid Red 14, or C.I. 14720 is a synthetic red food dye from the azo dye group. It usually comes as a disodium salt. It is a red to maroon powder. It is used for the purposes where the food is heat-treated after fermentation. It has E number E122. Some of the foods it can be present in are blancmange, marzipan, Swiss roll, jams, preserves, yoghurts, jellies, breadcrumbs, and cheesecake mixes. It is also present in Oraldene Mouthwash.; It is one of the colourants that the Hyperactive Children's Support Group recommends be eliminated from the diet of children.
