US Notes
Not listed on FDA-approved color additives list (21 CFR Parts 73/74). Not permitted for use in US cosmetics or food. Former D&C Red No. 9 listing (barium lake form, CI 15585:1 / CAS 5160-02-1) was revoked by FDA in 1988 due to carcinogenicity (spleen sarcoma in male rats). Note: Pigment Red 53:1 strictly refers to CI 15585:1 (the barium lake); CI 12150 is the related free-acid Sudan Red G form.
