据美国公共利益科学中心(CSPI)消息,根据美国FDA最新数据,著名的小戴比瑞士卷(Little Debbie Swiss Rolls)采用黄、红、蓝色素制作巧克力蛋糕。临床试验显示,人工食用色素会对儿童行为构成不良影响。
美国FDA采集了相关数据,经过美国公益科学中心分析发现,每份小戴比瑞士卷含黄5、红40、蓝1色素共32mg。美国公共利益科学中心表示,人工食用色素的含量令人担忧,因为临床试验显示,儿童摄取少量的食用色素也会产生不良反应。其他品牌的产品例如 Betty Crocker's Black Decorating Cake Icing、Pillsbury Supreme Collection Red Velvet Mix等,其中的食用色素含量甚至高于小戴比瑞士卷。
部分原文报道如下:
Little Debbie Swiss Rolls have a combined 32 milligrams of Yellow 5, Red 40, and Blue 1 per serving, according to new Food and Drug Administration data obtained and analyzed by the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest. That level of artificial food dye is troubling, according to the group, since clinical trials have shown that modest percentages of children experience adverse behavioral reactions after consuming about that much.
Many consumers, who associate food dyes with brightly colored foods, probably would be surprised to discover the dyes in a chocolate snack. The primary ingredients in Little Debbie Swiss Rolls, manufactured by McKee Foods, are sugar, water, flour, and oil. Less than two percent of the product is cocoa, which means that much of the dark, chocolatey brown color of the product comes from yellow, red, and blue dye.
