Substances used to add colour in food have changed over time. In the 19th century they were lethal; unsurprisingly these were replaced. However, in the 20th century, many replacements turned out to be carcinogenic. A lot of currently used food colourings are ‘natural’ but these present their own problems. This lecture will explore these trends .
