So, what is e110?
E110 is a food colorant commonly known as Sunset Yellow FCF. It is a synthetic dye that is often added to processed foods, beverages, and desserts to give them a bright yellow or orange hue. The E110 colorant is derived from coal tar and is water-soluble. It is often used in combination with other food colorants to achieve a desired color. While E110 is generally considered safe for consumption, some individuals may experience allergic reactions or adverse effects, such as hyperactivity in children. Therefore, it is important to consume E110 in moderation and consult with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns.
