Since 2003 the usage of azo and non-azo dyes for food coloring has been declared as illegal by many of the food international authorities across the globe. That is because these substances such as Sudan I,II,III,IV and Rhodamine B, are potentially carcinogens and genotoxin in nature. As of now, no official methods have been published for the detection of illegal dyes however, the most used analytical technology is GC-MS or HPLC coupled with UV or MS detection.
