Per McCormick.com, the ingredients in their yellow food coloring are as follows:

WATER, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, FD&C YELLOW 5, 0.1% PROPYLPARABEN (PRESERVATIVE), AND FD&C RED 40

Per the FDA, ingredients are listed in order of predominance, therefore, in this example, water would be the main ingredient.

Is dye poisonous?

There are many different dyes. The primary use of a dye is to color something. It can be used for food, clothing, ink, paint, or anything else that can absorb a color from a dye. A dye that is permitted to be used to color food is not poisonous although there are people who claim that some food dyes can be harmful. Dyes used for other purposes may be poisonous or otherwise unsafe. It is always a good idea to read the packaging label on any dye you intend to use.
