It sorta sounds reminiscent of MSG, in that they gave rats an excessive amount until it finally caused genetic damage.

I don't disagree with using natural and benign colorants (or even none at all), but this almost borders on dishonesty by tricking the ill-informed which can trigger a backlash of even more distrust.

Just not as overtly racist as attitudes to MSG.
