Unhappy I'm dead.....Kraft Macaroni & Cheese causes cancer

Kraft under pressure over 'cancer-causing' yellow food coloring in Macaroni and Cheese after 41,000 sign petition to ban additive | Mail Online

Two mothers have launched a campaign demanding that Kraft remove the artificial food dyes in the U.S. version of its Macaroni & Cheese

Lisa Leake and Vani Hari, both from North Carolina, noticed that the brightly-colored pasta contains two synthetic substances - yellow 5 and yellow 6 - that add nothing to the flavor and may be dangerous to children's health.

Mrs Leake,35, and Ms Hari, 33, have launched a Change.org petition titled Kraft: Stop Using Dangerous Food Dyes in Our Mac & Cheese which currently has 41,482 signatures.

In a video posted on the site they say that the yellow dyes, which contain benzidine 4-amino-buphenyl, a man-made product derived from petroleum, are used 'solely for aesthetics'.

The go on to highlight that the colorants have been linked to hyperactivity in children, asthma, migraines and .
