At the end of
this two year period, a study evaluated the real consumption of
Sunset Yellow as a food ingredient. This study was conducted on
basis of new data, collected in collaboration with the Swiss supermarket chain Migros. It was found that 99% of consumers had an
intake lower than 1 mg/kg of body weight per day of the dye (Sardi
et al., 2010). This data confirmed the expected low population
exposure to Sunset Yellow, thus the reduced ADI as set by the Panel
remained valid (EFSA Panel on Food Additives and Nutrient Sources
added to Food, 2011a)
