Data for Certified Foods Dyes in Over the Counter Medicines and Supplements for Children and Pregnant Women

This dataset is raw data and summary of quantified FD&C dye levels in children’s gummy vitamins, children’s tablet vitamins, prenatal vitamins, children’s cough/cold/allergy tablets & syrups, and children’s pain reliever tablets & syrups determined by high performance liquid chromatography with a photometric diode array (HPLC-DAD). The data can further be interpreted against the dosage given by each brand in each category to evaluate the consumption of the FD&C dyes and ADIs suggested for each FD&C dye by the US FDA. Syrups have the highest levels for the dosage described on the label and can be a significant contributor to FD&C dye intake for children, while all tablets and gummy vitamins showed low enough levels to be an insignificant amount of dye contributed to the ADI for most children.

本数据集包含儿童果味软糖维生素、儿童片剂维生素、孕产妇维生素、儿童咳嗽/感冒/过敏药片及糖浆、以及儿童止痛药片及糖浆中量化FD&C染料水平的原始数据及汇总，这些数据是通过高效液相色谱法结合光二极管阵列检测（HPLC-DAD）所测定。该数据集可用于与各品牌在各类别中提供的剂量进行对比，以评估FD&C染料的消费情况及美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）针对每种FD&C染料所建议的每日摄入量（ADI）。糖浆的染料水平最高，对于标签上描述的剂量而言，可能是儿童FD&C染料摄入量的重要贡献者，而所有药片和果味维生素的染料水平均足够低，对大多数儿童而言，对ADI的贡献可忽略不计。
