Scope

This international standard prescribes the determination of Sudan I, II, III & IV, Sudan Red 7B, Sudan Orange G, Para Red, Rhodamine B and Butter Yellow in spices and condiments using LC-MS/MS.

Purpose

Illegal dyes (such as Sudan I, II, III & IV, Sudan Red 7B, Sudan Orange G, Para Red, Rhodamine B and Butter Yellow) are the food colorants which are fraudulently used to enhance the appearance of food items, especially spices and condiments. These dyes are known to be carcinogenic in nature and cause many other health problems. There is urgent need to develop robust monitoring programs based on reliable international methods to assure that the food is free from these harmful colorants. Currently, there is no International Standard on the test method for determination of these illegal dyes in food stuffs including spices and condiments. This new work item proposal is being submitted to develop an ISO Standard for determination of Sudan I, II, III & IV, Sudan Red 7B, Sudan Orange G, Para Red, Rhodamine B and Butter Yellow in spices and condiments using using LC-MS/MS.
