E154 BRUNO FK OR BROWN KIPPLER

Brown FK or brown Kippler is a brownish azo dye of synthetic origin.

As an additive, it can be contained in some fish products, and its use is limited to a few products, as there is the possibility that it may be mutagenic.

If this dye is consumed in high concentrations, it is possible that it may settle at the kidney level and at the lymphatic level. It can also cause hyperactivity, asthma, rhinitis, hives and insomnia. In addition, in combination with benzoates, it can cause hyperactivity in children.

It has also been banned in some non-EU countries because there is a risk that it may be carcinogenic.

ADI DOSE: 3 mg per kg of body weight.
