2 As new scientific information on health risks for children exposed to azo dyes had emerged since Parliament's first reading, MEPs inserted a new amendment asking that foods containing these dyes be labelled "azo dyes may provoke allergenic effects and hyper-activity in children". They also agreed that where there is evidence that a food additive might cause undesirable side effects (e.g. azo dyes), the Commission, in consultation with the Member States, should take immediate action to ban it. As a result the EU commission has agreed on a warning label for foods, which contain azo-dyes. Therefore a replacement of these colours becomes almost inevitable. NovaSOL, winner of the best new ingredient for beverages in September 2009, offers a variety of colour shades, which are able to replace azo-dyes while keeping the established colour of the product. Therefore you can decide for a colour replacement without a change in the successful appearance of your product! *) picture source: see last page New regulatory on foods - azo-dyes to be replaced EU meeting agrees on warning label: The labeling of food additives containing azo-dyes shall display the warning "azo-dyes may provoke allergenic effects and hyperactivity in children".
