A synthetic blue dye used in small amounts across a limited range of foods. It gives products a blue or blue-green colour and is often combined with other dyes to achieve purple or green shades. Generally considered safe at typical levels used in food. Some studies link high doses to hypersensitivity reactions in sensitive individuals, and it is one of the dyes included in the UK's voluntary warning for potential effects on children's activity and attention.
