Context
Rhodamine B, a synthetic dye primarily used in textiles and scientific research, has recently gained attention due to its illegal use in food products, raising significant health concerns.
What is Rhodamine B?
- Rhodamine B is a synthetic dye primarily used in textiles, paper, and leather. It is bright pink in color and also used in scientific research due to its fluorescent properties.
- However, it is dangerous when used in food products, as studies have linked it to DNA damage and potential cancer risks.
- Health Risks:
- Rhodamine B is carcinogenic, meaning it can potentially cause cancer, particularly with prolonged exposure.
- Animal studies have shown that it can cause tumor growth in organs like the liver and bladder.
- It is prohibited in food products in many countries, including the United States and European Union, due to these risks.
