UK’s FSA Updates Food Colour List
04 May 2009
The UK’s Food Standards Agency (FSA) has updated its list of products that are free from the 6 food colours associated with possible hyperactivity in young children. The colours, identified by a Southampton University study financed by the Food Standards Agency, are sunset yellow FCF (E110), quinoline yellow (E104), carmoisine (E122), allura red (E129), tartrazine (E102) and ponceau 4R (E124). The FSA wants the food industry to participate in a voluntary ban of the 6 additives. A further 22 manufacturers producing products free of the colours have been added to the list.

Eurometaux
I've been using EU Issue Tracker for more than three years: it offers me daily updated, detailed and high quality information on the Environmental, Health & Safety issues I am following, saving me valuable time at a very fair cost/benefit ratio.
Eddy Roelants
Vice-President Technology and Environmental Policy
SIEMENS AG
The Issue Tracker saves me huge amounts of time. It's like having another member of staff. The 'past-present-future' approach is very useful too.
James Johnston
Policy Adviser
Scottish Government
Given the wide scope of issues to be covered under food policy, it is practically impossible to be always up-to-date on all issues. Issue Tracker is therefore a very useful tool! Not only does it send an alert when there is progress made on the dossiers, but it can be easily accessed whenever necessary.
Adviser on Food Policy and Customers
EuroCommerce
