What is Blue #2?
About Blue #2
Blue #2, also known as indigo carmine, is a synthetic food colorant commonly used in candy and pet food beverages. However, studies have raised concerns about its potential link to brain tumors, suggesting that certain compounds in Blue #2 may be carcinogenic. Limited scientific evidence warrants further research to fully understand the risks.
Regulatory authorities have set safety limits for Blue #2 use. It is advised to consume these products in moderation and be aware of ingredients. Consult healthcare professionals or regulatory authorities for up-to-date information and advice on Blue #2 and other food additives.
