E124 Rouge ponceau 4R, rouge cochenille A "This additive is concerned by a study suggesting a possible link between the consumption of azo dyes, associated with the preservative sodium benzoate (E211), and hyperactivity in children. In a report specifically devoted to this study known as the Southampton study, the European Food Safety Authority (Efsa) somewhat mitigates the conclusions. Nevertheless, the results provided by this study show a significant impact on specific individuals sensitive to food additives in general or dyes in particular. Foods containing E124 must be labelled ""May have adverse effects on activity and attention in children"". A few cases of allergies have been reported, however there is no cross-cutting conclusion as to the allergenicity of this substance. Following the re-evaluation of this additive by the Efsa, the maximum quantities of use in many foods have been revised downwards and the acceptable daily intake (ADI) has also been lowered. The use of this colorant in certain foods has even been banned. Exceeding the ADI, both for adults and children at the maximum use levels, remains possible."
