Consumer Advice
Indanthrene Blue RS is a synthetic anthraquinone blue dye. It appeared on early European lists of candidate food colours but was never formally approved for food use because of insufficient toxicological data, and it is absent from current EU and Chinese food standards. Consumers are very unlikely to encounter it in legitimate foods.
