Food dye in mint drinks raises health issues
The article points to the risks of using artificial food colorings in mint syrup, especially the vibrant green color, which is often produced using substances like E142 and E143, or a mixture of E102 and E133. These can cause allergic reactions and increase hyperactivity symptoms in some children, as well as allergic responses and claims related to cancer. Health authorities affirm that consuming these colorings within established limits is considered safe, but experts recommend relying on natural ingredients, such as chlorophyll and spirulina, for a natural green hue. Specialists indicate that the natural color of mint syrup is usually light green or yellowish, and that the bright, vivid color is often the result of using artificial colorings.
