Specifications
Target Information
Sudan I is a synthetic azo dye used for industrial purposes, such as coloring waxes, oils, and plastics. It is a known genotoxic carcinogen in animals, meaning it can damage DNA and cause cancer. Its use in food is strictly prohibited worldwide. The food safety concern arises from its illegal use to artificially color and enhance the appearance of certain foods, including spices like chili powder, sauces, and sometimes even animal-derived products to make them look fresher or more appealing. Because of its toxicity and potential to cause cancer, its presence in any food, including animal source foods, is a serious public health violation.
