1. Soft drinks: Many brightly colored sodas and sports drinks.

2. Candy: Including gummy candies and some chocolates.

3. Cereals: Some breakfast cereals have it for added color.

4. Baked goods: Certain breads, pastries, and cakes.

5. Frozen desserts: Ice creams and ices can contain tartrazine.

6. Seasonings and condiments: Mustard, relish, and some salad dressings.
7.
Preserved foods: Pickles and some canned goods may use it for color.
