It is also widely used in liquid and bar soap, shampoo, cosmetics and medicines. Sometimes it is mixed with blue dyes to color processed products green.

It is typically labelled on food packages as "color", "tartrazine", or "E102". In the United States, because of concerns about possible health problems related to intolerance to tartrazine, its presence must be declared on food and drug product labels.<ref>[[Code of Federal Regulations|CFR]] 74.1705, 21 [[Code of Federal Regulations|CFR]] 201.20</ref>
