What it is

Red and Yellow are synthetic food colorings used to add or restore color to foods. They are derived from petroleum and are approved for use by the FDA. Red and Yellow are often used in combination to create orange or reddish-yellow hues.

Health notes

Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have also assessed these colorings, with evaluations ongoing.
