Audited Supplier Similar to Patent Blue V, Brilliant Blue FCF is also a triarylmethane colour consisting of N-ethyl-N-(4-[(4-ethyl[(3-sulfophenyl)methyl]-amino]phenyl) (2-sulfophenyl)methylene]-2,5-cyclohexadien-1-ylidene)-3-sulfobenzenemet-hanaminium hydroxide inner salt, disodium salt (Figure 2.2d). As a Group III colour, it is authorised for a wide range of foods with a maximum permitted level of 500 mg/kg, although it appears that the typical use levels are much lower (EFSA, 2010b).
The application of 14C-labelled Brilliant Blue to rats indicated that the colour is completely excreted unchanged via faeces (Phillips et al., 1980). From the available toxicological database, EFSA concluded that there is no concern in respect to genotoxicity and carcinogenicity. Observed adverse effects from chronic toxicity studies are decrease in terminal mean body weight and decreased survival in the highest dose tested (Borzelleca et al., 1990). EFSA agreed with the authors' NOAEL of 631 mg/kg bw/day and used this NOAEL for the establishment of the ADI of 6 mg/kg bw (EFSA, 2010b).
