∙ 14y agoYellow #5 (Tartrazine) can cause allergic reactions in some individuals. You will be more prone to this side effect if you are an asthmatic or have an aspirin intolerance. A variety of immunologic responses have been attributed to tartrazine ingestion, including anxiety, migraines, clinical depression, blurred vision, itching, general weakness, heatwaves, feeling of suffocation, purple skin patches, and sleep disturbance.
Not much is known on this subject, so effects on people who are tolerant of this substance are not proven.
