Monoazo and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet
Monoazo refers to a class of synthetic dyes used as food colorings and are characterized by the presence of an azo group in their chemical structure. These dyes can impart a range of vibrant colors to food products. Monoazo colorings can be derived from both plant and animal sources, making it important for consumers with dietary restrictions, such as those avoiding animal products, to verify the source of the dye when it is not clearly labeled.
