E104 — Quinoline yellow

High risk

Quinoline Yellow: EFSA lowered the ADI to 0.5 mg/kg bw/day (2009; refined exposure 2015) and high-level child exposure can exceed it; EU mandatory child-hyperactivity warning (Reg. 1333/2008 Annex V); not permitted in US food (D&C Yellow 10). No carcinogenicity classification. Risk depends on the dose; the app cannot measure actual intake, so this flag is precautionary.

Nutly strongly discourages regular consumption.
