Currently the article says "Amaranth was made from amaranth plants." -- isn't this dye, also known as Red Dye #2, a synthetic dye made from coal tar? I have marked the article as needing references. --Larrybob 22:41, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
I also don't think it is made from amaranth plants. Also, it should no longer be called "FD&C Red No.2". It should be called "Former FD&C Red No.2" since it is no longer certifiable by the FDA. - Afong 14:35, 01 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Decomposing
Does this dye change color when it decomposes or is the decomposed dye the same color as the plain dye? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.188.253.13 (talk) 03:25, 26 January 2007 (UTC).
