[14] It is not clear how many individuals are sensitive or intolerant to tartrazine, but the University of Guelph estimates that it is 1 to 10 out of every ten thousand people (0.01% to 0.1% of the population).

Tartrazine, a dye used in making Doritos, has a light-absorbing quality that researchers used to apply to mice so they could see through the skin. Tartrazine, a dye used in making Doritos, has a ...

INS numbers are assigned by the committee to identify each food additive. INS numbers generally correspond to E numbers for the same compound, e.g. INS 102, Tartrazine, is also E102. INS numbers are not unique and, in fact, one number may be assigned to a group of similar compounds.
These concerns have led the FDA and other food safety authorities to regularly review the scientific literature, and led the UK FSA to commission a study by researchers at Southampton University of the effect of a mixture of six food dyes (Tartrazine, Allura Red AC, Ponceau 4R, Quinoline Yellow WS, Sunset Yellow and Carmoisine, dubbed the ...
Allergy appears to be very rare in the general population but it is still often considered to be one of the top 10 food allergies. [55] It is debated whether reaction to sulfites is a true allergy. [56] Tartrazine: Skin irritation, hives, rash
