The Food, Drug and Cosmetic (FD&C) Colors have been studied extensively. The most recent have been chronic toxicity/oncogenicity studies in Charles River CD rats and Charles River CD-1 mice. The colors evaluated and the dietary levels employed were: Dietary Levels (%) Color Rat Mouse FD&C Blue 1 0.0, 0.1, 1.0, 2.0 0.0, 0.5, 1.5, 5.0 FD&C Green 3 0.0, 1.25, 2.5, 5.0 0.0, 0.5, 1.5, 5.0 FD&C Blue 2 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 0.0, 0.5, 1.5, 5.0 FD&C Yellow 6 0.0, 0.75, 1.5, 3.0, 5.0 0.0, 0.5, 1.5, 5.0 FD&C Yellow 5 0.0, 0.1, 1.0, 2.0, 5.0 0.0, 0.5, 1.5, 5.0 FD&C Red 3 0.0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 4.0 0.0, 0.3, 1.0, 3.0 Many parameters were measured during the course of these studies including reproductive performance (rats only), body weights, feed consumption, clinical chemistries (blood, urine), hematology, gross and histological examination of tissues. Data were subjected to extensive statistical analyses. There were no consistent statistically significant and biologically relevant compound related effects, including tumors. These studies were supported by the Certified Colors Manufacturers Association and were conducted by Bio-dynamics Laboratory and International Reseach and Development Corporation.
