Yellow oxide

Posted : 9/25/2006 12:00:09 PM

Does anyone know about the color yellow oxide. I purchased a chew and then realize it was an ingredient. I tried looking it up but only found that it was used in cake decoration coloring, etc. But, I wasn't sure if it was something that was OK for eating or just decoration. Thanks.

Yellow oxide is a mineral that is ground and used as a pigment in paint, food dyes, fabric dyes, etc, etc.

Here's some links

Lori,
I sold art supplies for 20 years and learned ALOT about paints and such. Most of the pigments that were used during the renaissance were highly toxic. That's were alot of the mental illness came from in artist during that period (ie: Van Gogh). Some of these pigments are still being used today, although they are not being used in food-stuff products, I would still not think adding any of the colors would be beneficial [:'(]
