do to excessive colouring

Fanta Orange bottles imported from Algeria have been urgently recalled in Malta after tests revealed excessive levels of the artificial colouring E110, also known as Sunset Yellow.

The Food Safety and Security Authority issued the alert, urging the public not to consume the affected product due to health concerns. E110 is used to give soft drinks and sweets their bright orange colour, but high doses have been linked to allergic reactions, hyperactivity in children, and potential damage to the liver and kidneys.

The European Food Safety Authority recently tightened regulations on the use of E110, lowering the acceptable daily intake and calling for stricter controls on its use in food and drink across the EU.

Local authorities confirmed that this specific batch of Fanta Orange exceeds the EU’s permitted limits for the additive. Consumers are advised to check their products and dispose of them immediately.

Will this affect your purchases for Fanta in the future?

Times have changed, and so have our foods—but not always for the better. Real, whole foods are being replaced with ultra-refined alternatives filled with additives.

Sometimes, simpler is better. Check your labels—or try making it at home! Homemade mayo is easier than you think and so much healthier. 🌱💛
