Allergies "Yellow Sunset"
National Heart Institute (IJN : Institut Jantung Negara) cheif dietician Mary Easaw-John said that the use of tartrazine (a food colouring : in yellow or orange) appeared to cause the most allergic reactions, particularly among asthmatics and those with aspirin intolerance.
She also said that the colouring "Sunset Yellow" causes people with aspirin intolerance to experience symptoms such as gastric upset, diarrhoea, vomitting, nettle rash and swelling of the skin.
