When searching online for C.I. 18050 or Amidonaphthol red G I find a slightly different molecular formula (without the Oxygen groups). Are those names really the same as Red 2G / is the formula used in this article correct? 131.193.211.45 22:26, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

[1] and [2] give the same structure as the article, and give the name as E128, Red 2G, CI 18050 and Amidonaphthol Red G. Where did you find the alternative structures? (I'm not sure what you mean by 'without the Oxygen groups') Ewen 08:39, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can't find the reference to the alternative structure anymore, but thanks for checking 131.193.211.45 21:57, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Red 2G (E128) is only permitted for use in breakfast sausages with a minimum cereal content of 6% and burger meat with a minimum vegetable and/or cereal content of 4%. http://www.greencouncil.org/doc/ResourcesCentre/EC_Directive_30_June_1994_on_colours_for_use_in_foodstuffs.pdf

It is not permitted in Europe in jams or other foodstuffs listed. Also unsure about it only being allowed to be used in the UK. It was a colour that was used in Ireland, but not commonly used in Europe - I'm not sure thatr its use is banned else in any Member States apart from Sweden.
