Moderately lightfast, water-soluble green food additive (E 142) used for colouring foodstuffs (e.g. green colour in canned peas), confectionery, beverages, ice cream, cosmetics, wool, leather, plastics and paper. Green S, has hardly been toxicologically investigated. The substance is not absorbed in the intestine.
Green S is not used for organic food, as the EC-Eco-regulation excludes food additives which are only intended for the purpose of colouring.
