KIWI & LIME: AL RAWABI

Al Rawabi's Kiwi & Lime Juice has the coloring agent E133



E133 Brilliant blue FCF FD&C Blue Dye No.1; used in dairy products, sweets and drinks, synthetic usually occurring as aluminium lake (solution) or ammonium salt; banned in Belgium, France, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Austria, Norway




A wikipedia entry claims E133 is considered a safe food additive in the EU. Apparently the ban in the European countries has been lifted.

It also says, "It has the capacity for inducing an allergic reaction in individuals with pre-existing moderate asthma."
