Article Synopsis
- Tartrazine, a yellow food dye, has potential health concerns including allergic reactions and ADHD, but its full safety profile remains unclear.
- Scientists isolated gut bacteria that could break down tartrazine, leading to the formation of a purple compound and metabolites relevant for studying its toxicity.
- Two specific compounds related to tartrazine, SCAP and PPA, were found to be moderately toxic to human cells but not harmful to certain bacteria, suggesting a need for further research on tartrazine's safety and its byproducts.
