6 9 A student investigated three food colourings, blue (FB), green (FG) and red (FR), to find out if they were safe for use. This was done by comparing their chromatograms with those of approved colourings, blue (SB), green (SG) and red (SR). The result is shown in the diagram below.
(a)
How many different dyes are there in (i) SB _____________ [1] (ii) SR _____________ [1]
(b)
State, with a reason in each case, whether or not each food colouring is safe for use. The first one has been done for you FB: It is safe. It contains dyes that are found in approved colouring SB.
