Yellow 4, also known as Sunset Yellow FCF or E110, is a synthetic azo dye commonly used as a food coloring agent to impart a vibrant yellow hue to various products, including beverages, confectionery, and dairy items. It is a water-soluble, orange-yellow powder that is stable under normal conditions and is approved for use in many countries, although its use is restricted or banned in some due to potential health concerns. Yellow 4 is derived from coal tar and is known for its high tinctorial strength, meaning it requires only a small amount to achieve the desired color intensity.
