E126 — Ponceau 6R

Ponceau 6R (C.I. Food Red 8): deleted from the EU list of permitted colours by Council Directive 76/399/EEC (marketing prohibited from 1978); not an authorised EU food additive; not permitted in US food. JECFA could not set an ADI — decision postponed for insufficient data (1974; TRS 617, 1977). No IARC classification exists and the genotoxicity assay on record was negative.

Nutly strongly discourages regular consumption.
