Food manufacturers are not very smart. Ice cream manufacturers were smart. They removed yellow five from ice cream and soft ice cream bases, and now use other yellow dyes. Same for cheese makers. But pickle makers, who did not have yellow 5 in pickles before, started putting it in pickles.
Yellow dye makes the pickles look yellow green like young cucumbers.
All mature cucumbers look dark green, but the public doesnot know this. Pickles made in India and Germany do not have yellow 5 in them. They think that yellow 5 is such a good thing that many bakers put it in all sweet rolls, etc. It is time to patronize stores who are very conscious of such things. When we dine out, I take with me a small bottle of a food allergy medicine in the event that I am served something that contains yellow 5.
