Specifications
Target Information
Tartrazine is a widely used synthetic lemon-yellow azo dye. While it is primarily associated with beverages and processed foods, it impacts animal-derived food safety because it can be added to animal feed to artificially enhance the yellow color of poultry skin, fat, and egg yolks to meet consumer preferences. It is also illegally used to falsify the quality of dairy products or cheese. From a food safety perspective, tartrazine is heavily monitored because it can trigger allergic reactions, hyperactivity in children, and asthma, and its misuse or excessive residue in animal products violates food compliance regulations.
