Unfortunately, the FSANZ (Food Standards Authority of Australia and New Zealand found the study with inadequate evidence hence the influx of food with the mentioned colorings continues.  That has kept many mothers or families in the dark for so long.   Studies have proven that the intake of foods using these additives worsen if not trigger ADHD or ADHD like symptoms.

Being a mom, I’m all for the ban of these unhealthy substances.  The FSANZ should no longer ignore the public’s clamor.
