Health tip Many processed foods are made with a derivative of coal tar that has been linked to hyperactivity in children. Would you knowingly feed your children an ingredient derived from coal tar? That’s exactly what you may be doing, if you let them eat any orange or yellow artificially colored products including sodas. The industrial waste-derived coloring tartrazine is a common ingredient in all these foods, underscoring once again the need to read food labels religiously. Why would anyone put artificial colors into pickles? Tartrazine, also known as E102 or Yellow 5, was one of the colorings linked to childhood hyperactivity in a landmark 2007 study conducted by the United Kingdom’s Food Standards Agency. As a consequence, products containing it must carry a warning label anywhere in the European Union.
