Not really. It will cause harm to you though, but only if you're allergic to such food dyes. See related link below for more.
Yellow 5 food coloring is added to it.
In food coloring it is about 5 drops of yellow to one drop of red food coloring.

The elements of food coloring can depend on whether it is made from natural or synthetic substances. Some natural coloring for food are turmeric and annatto, which comes from the achiote seed. Examples of artificial food colorings are FD&C yellow Nos. 5 and 6, and green No. 3.
The chemical formula for food coloring can vary depending on the specific compound used. Common food coloring dyes include Red 40 (C18H14N2O5), Yellow 5 (C10H6N2O8S2), and Blue 1 (C37H34N2O9S3). The chemical formula for bleach is typically NaClO, representing the active ingredient sodium hypochlorite.

Corn Syrup, sugar, water, food starch-modified, yellow 5, red 3, yellow 6, carrageenan, sodium benzoate (preservative), citric acid, blue 1. All of the artificial food colors such as FD&C Yellow 5, FD&C Yellow 6, FD&C Red 40, etc, that are used to make the commonly known food colorings found on grocery stores are made by combining raw materials through a reaction and therefore creating a molecule that is precisely such food color.
Tartrazine, also known as FD&C Yellow No. 5, is a synthetic lemon yellow dye that is typically derived from coal tar. It undergoes a series of chemical reactions to produce the final product which is widely used as a food coloring additive in various food and beverage products.
ESCO food coloring typically contains a blend of color additives, which may include natural or synthetic dyes, water, and stabilizers to maintain consistency and prevent separation. Common ingredients may include dyes like Red 40, Yellow 5, or natural options like beet juice or turmeric for coloring. It's important to check the specific product label for precise ingredients, as formulations can vary. Always ensure that the food coloring is approved for use in food products by relevant regulatory agencies.
No, Yellow 5, also known as Tartrazine, is a synthetic dye derived from coal tar. It is a food coloring commonly used in various products like beverages, candy, and desserts. These claims about it being made from sperm cells are false and not based on scientific evidence.
The three most widely used culprits---Yellow 5, Yellow 6 and Red 40---contain compounds, including benzidine and 4-aminobiphenyl, that research has linked with cancer. So yes they are often bad for you.
