If you or your children eat packaged snacks, sweets, bakery items, or fast food in India, you’re probably consuming food dyes that are banned in the US, UK, EU, and multiple countries because of proven risks to brain development, hyperactivity, allergies, and potential carcinogenic effects.

Nutrition expert Ryan Fernando breaks down the shocking truth about artificial food colours and why India is failing to protect its citizens from ingredients that global health authorities have already rejected.

These dyes are STILL allowed in India:

Red 40 / Allura Red

Yellow 5 & Yellow 6

Blue 1 & Blue 2

Carmoisine

Erythrosine

Tartrazine

And they’re found in:

Chips, biscuits, and candies

Restaurant biryani & bakery sweets

Ice creams & soft drinks

Packaged juices & cereals

STOP doing these 5 things immediately:

-Assuming “brightly coloured = tasty but safe”

-Giving packaged coloured foods to kids under 12

-Ignoring labels that say “INS 102, 110, 122, 124”

-Eating food with colours you can’t pronounce
