Buzz of the day: Does someone own and manufacture Red 40? Or is it a specification of a certain hue, saturation, and lightness?
http://www.red40.com/ says that Red 40 is an FDA-certified color additive, and lists many foods that include it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allura_Red_AC says chemically it is 6-hydroxy-5-((2-methoxy-5-methyl-4-sulfophenyl)azo)-2-naphthalene-sulfonate, and that it is made mostly from petroleum.
Can anyone comment on who makes Red 40?
