Sudan Orange 14 Dyes

Product Description

Sudan Orange 14 is a synthetic dye belonging to a class of compounds known as Sudan dyes. These dyes are often used in various applications, including coloring textiles, plastics, and sometimes in laboratory procedures. Sudan Orange 14, also known as Solvent Orange 7, is typically a bright orange-red dye with good solubility in organic solvents.

It's important to note that the use of Sudan dyes in food has been a subject of concern and regulation. Sudan dyes have been found to be carcinogenic and are not approved for use as food additives in many countries. They are sometimes illegally used to enhance the color of certain foods, such as chili powder and palm oil. The presence of Sudan dyes in food products is a health risk and a violation of food safety regulations.

Therefore, it's crucial to ensure that Sudan Orange 14 and similar dyes are not used in food products and that food authorities regularly monitor and enforce regulations to prevent their use in the food industry.
