Monoazo and the Vegan Diet

Monoazo is a type of synthetic azo dye commonly used in the food industry to enhance the visual appeal of food products by providing bright and diverse colors. These dyes are produced through a chemical process that involves the reaction of aromatic compounds. While they are primarily synthetically produced, some monoazo dyes may be derived from animal sources, which is a concern for vegans and vegetarians.
