> What is the E number for Tartrazine ??
I think it's E102.
I've got a leaflet with all the common E numbers somewhere. I'll
see if I can find it.

| They're European ( I think ) additive numbers. Some are quite harmless
others are not. I have a book somewhere at home which explains what
each number is - its just another way of baffling the consumer.

Re: .0,.1
I found the book - E102 it is!
Re: .2,.3
They are European additive numbers, the idea is to make sure that
people know what they are getting... E102 = Tartrazine = one of
the n other (less synthetic-sounding) names for the same stuff.
The first digit indicates the type of additive...
1nn = a colouring agent
2nn = a preservative
3nn)
4nn)- I forget and the book doesn't say
5nn)
I think it goes a bit far though... E150 is caramel!!!

| Numbering caramel would be going a bit far if "caramel' mean natural
caramel. Unfortunately E number caramel can mean all sorts of wierd
and wonderful chemicals.
