Tartrazine, also known as FD&C Yellow No. 5, is a synthetic dye commonly used in various food and beverage products, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetic items. As a bright yellow colorant, tartrazine enhances the visual appeal of products and is often added to foods such as candies, snacks, soft drinks, desserts, and processed foods to impart a vibrant yellow hue. In pharmaceuticals, tartrazine may be used to color tablets, capsules, and syrups, aiding in product identification and improving consumer recognition. Additionally, it can be found in cosmetic products like makeup, shampoos, and lotions to add color.

Despite its widespread use, tartrazine has been associated with certain health concerns, particularly in individuals who are sensitive or allergic to it. Some people may experience adverse reactions such as allergic reactions, including skin rashes, itching, swelling, and respiratory symptoms like asthma and rhinitis. Due to these potential side effects, regulatory agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have established guidelines for the acceptable use and labeling of tartrazine in consumer products.
