Is E133 Safe to Consume?
It’s not highly toxic or anything like that, and is widely accepted around the world as a food-additive that’s safe. There are a few countries that have banned it though, and some people may experience mild allergic reactions to it, so consuming a lot of it is definitely not recommended, however a little in your diet is likely to be non-impactful on your overall health.
