Tartrazine is a synthetic compound used as a yellow food dye.
In a 2016 evaluation of food additives, World Health Organization stated that the upper level of acceptable daily intake (ADI), i.e. intake level that does not pose a significant health risk, is 10 mg per kg of body weight per day. At these levels there seem to be no adverse health effects on humans. However, it's important to not that there might be some cases of intolerance reactions even within this limit. 1
