"Some food additives, specifically certain E-numbers, have been a subject of discussion regarding their potential negative impact on children's health, particularly concerning allergic reactions and hyperactivity. Here are a few examples of E-numbers that have been debated:


1. **E102 (Tartrazine):**

Tartrazine is a synthetic yellow colorant that has been a topic of discussion due to its alleged link to hyperactivity and allergic reactions in some children. However, this has not been conclusively confirmed through all studies. Source: EFSA (European Food Safety Authority). (2009). Scientific Opinion on the re-evaluation of Tartrazine (E 102). EFSA Journal, 7(11), 1331. https://efsa.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.2903/j.efsa.2009.1331


2. **E110 (Sunset Yellow FCF):**

Sunset Yellow FCF is a synthetic red colorant that has been associated with allergic reactions and hyperactivity in some children. Research on its effects, however, is not definitive. Source: EFSA (European Food Safety Authority). (2019). Re-evaluation of sunset yellow FCF (E 110) as a food additive. EFSA Journal, 17(7), e05776. https://efsa.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.2903/j.efsa.2019.5776


3. **E122 (Azorubine):**

Azorubine is a synthetic red colorant that has been discussed concerning its potential negative impact on children's behavior and allergic reactions. Research in this area varies. Source: EFSA (European Food Safety Authority). (2009). Scientific Opinion on the re-evaluation of Azorubine/Carmoisine (E 122). EFSA Journal, 7(11), 1330. https://efsa.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.2903/j.efsa.2009.1330


For the most current and specific information, it is recommended to refer directly to scientific sources responsible for evaluating food safety and regulations, such as EFSA in Europe or similar agencies in your country."
