The acceptable daily intake for curcumin (E100) is 0–3 mg per kg body weight per day—about 210 mg/day for a 70 kg adult—from all dietary sources; higher supplement doses fall outside food-additive use.

How is blue 1 made?
It’s synthesized from petroleum‑derived aromatic compounds by constructing a triarylmethane core, then sulfonating and oxidizing it to a water‑soluble disodium salt. The 'lake' form is produced by precipitating the dye onto aluminum hydroxide.
Does blue 1 cause cancer?
Current evidence does not show that Blue 1 causes cancer at permitted food-use levels. Long-term animal studies and evaluations by EFSA/JECFA have not identified carcinogenic or genotoxic concerns.
