These toggles apply to this comparison. Your personal avoid list is used when you open the full ingredient check. Unknown and stale evidence cannot pass the no-match filter.

7 of 7 products · Checking Artificial Dyes

01 · A closer look

Check the color names in the recipe.

Our artificial-dye group checks a defined set of names, including Red 40, Yellow 5 and 6, and Blue 1 and 2. A colorful package or the word natural does not determine the outcome. The ingredient panel and evidence date do.

02 · A closer look

Unknown is a useful result.

Doritos is included as an evidence gap rather than a clean alternative. Until its source and current label are verified in this library, it cannot pass a no-match filter. You can paste the ingredients from the exact bag into the checker.

03 · A closer look

A kids label is not an age assessment.

Choose snacks for the child’s age, preparation needs, and allergies independently. For toddlers and younger children, review CDC choking-hazard guidance rather than relying on a dye check.
