E161j Red

Serial: E161jRD

The primary E161j use today is as an animal feed additive to impart coloration, including farm-raised salmon and chicken egg yolks. Synthetic carotenoid pigments colored yellow, red, or orange represent about 15–25% of the cost of production of commercial salmon feed. Today, almost all E161j for aquaculture is produced synthetically.

About E161j Red

Class action lawsuits were filed against some major grocery store chains for not clearly labeling the E161j-treated salmon as "color added". The chains followed up quickly by labeling all such salmon as "color added". Litigation persisted with the suit for damages, but a Seattle judge dismissed the case, ruling that enforcement of the applicable food laws was up to government and not individuals.

The primary human application for E161j is as a dietary supplement, although as of 2018, there was insufficient evidence from medical research to show that it affects disease risk or health of people, and it remains under preliminary research. In 2018, the European Food Safety Authority sought scientific information from manufacturers of dietary supplements about the safety of E161j.
