Comments[edit]

citations 2 and 5 do not even bear on the claims they are cited in support of. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.141.136.213 (talk) 02:57, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It seems like number 2 talks about it, and I have replaced number 5. Aeonoris (talk) 04:01, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I like my cooldrink to be bright red. Shiny happy people like to drink brightly dyed things. I like my ketchup to be a nice, bright red, thanks. --Slashme 13:28, 28 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Erythrosine[edit]

This colour is banned in UAE

Add CAS number 16423-68-0 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.1.104.75 (talk) 17:00, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Erythrosine - the friendly coloring[edit]

I like Erythrosine. It has a pretty, even symmetrical chemical structure about it. This could be a replacement for tartrazine. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fatboycsaba (talk • contribs) 04:30, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tartrazine is a yellow dye. Erythrosine is a red/pink dye. ANDROS¹³³⁷ 00:36, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Red 3 vs. Red 40[edit]

It has been scientifically proven that Red 40 is safer than Red 3, otherwise Red 3 wouldn't have largely been phased out in the United States. Red 3 is the second least used dye in the United States, only behind Green 3. Pink shades are generally produced using a lower concentration of Red 40 instead of Red 3, sometimes combined with Blue 1. The EU has a general fear towards azo dyes, despite scientific consensus that Red 40 is the safer dye over Red 3. I had a statement in the article stating that Red 40 has fewer known health risks than Red 3, however, it has been removed last month. The article as it currently stands is very Euro-biased.

Removing erythrosine[edit]

Do not know if FD&C Red No. 3 – Erythrosine would be replaced to FD&C Red No. 41 – Excellence Red. It would still be a pink shade.

Toxic[edit]

Do not know if FD&C Red No. 3 – Erythrosine, E127 is toxic as FD&C Red No. 2 – Amaranth, E123?
