General Description

Acid Red 118 is a synthetic organic dye widely used in the textile and food industry as a red coloring agent. Also known as Ponceau 4R, it belongs to the azo dye class and is commonly used to dye cotton, wool, and silk fabrics, as well as in the production of various food products such as cakes, confectionery, beverages, and canned fruits. However, concerns have been raised about its safety and potential health risks, as it has been linked to allergic reactions and hyperactivity in children. As a result, some countries have implemented regulations on its use in food products and textiles. Overall, Acid Red 118 is a versatile dye with widespread applications, but its potential health effects should be taken into consideration when used in consumer products.
