Some of these food dyes are not even legal in the United States (like Kipper Brown) but you know. . .I do think they somehow get back into the US through foreign made foods.  I keep testing people are allergic to Kipper Brown but we can’t figure out what people are eating that still has that dye in it. I’ve read that chocolate flavoring contains up to 42 different chemicals! Yikes. I guess it’s best to go for the natural stuff.
