En Europe et en Amérique c'est deux mondes. Vous l'avez pour ça. Beaucoup de colorants sont bannis par l'Union Européene et permis en Amérique. C'est le cas du Allura Red.
In Europe, Allura Red AC is not recommended for consumption by children. It is banned in Denmark, Belgium, France and Switzerland, and was also banned in Sweden until the country joined the European Union in 1994.[12] The European Union approves Allura Red AC as a food colorant, but EU countries' local laws banning food colorants are preserved.[13] In Norway, it was banned between 1978 and 2001, a period in which azo dyes were only legally used in alcoholic beverages and some fish products.[14]
In the United States, Allura Red AC is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in cosmetics, drugs, and food. It is used in some tattoo inks and is used in many products, such as soft drinks, children's medications, and cotton candy. It is by far the most commonly used red dye in the United States, completely replacing amaranth and also replacing erythrosine in most applications due to the potential health effects of the two dyes. On June 30, 2010, the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) called for the FDA to ban Red 40.[15] wiki
