What is Brilliant Black BN?
About Brilliant Black BN
Brilliant Black BN, or Black 1, is a commonly used food dye that adds a dark color to various food products. However, it is important to be aware of the potential risks associated with consuming this dye, as studies have suggested it may increase the risk of hyperactivity, allergies, and asthma, particularly in children.
Brilliant Black BN does not provide any significant health benefits and should be consumed in moderation, especially by individuals prone to these conditions. Consider opting for natural food colorings or products labeled as free from artificial dyes to minimize potential negative effects on well-being.
