On January 1, 1948 (the 23rd year of Showa) the Food Sanitation Law was put into operation and 22 coloring matters were listed as food additives in the Food Sanitation Law Enforcement Regulation. Since then 3 new coloring matters have been approved and 14 have been delisted. The specifications and use restrictions have been revised many times. The latest specifications and use restrictions are described in the Sixth Edition of the Japanese Standards for Food Additives published in 1992.After enforcement of the Food Sanitation Law, the government had a legal basis toprohibit the use of unapproved coloring matters. However some food processors continued using unapproved coloring matters for about ten years. Government agencies, the food industry and the various food additive industries worked together to eliminate the use of unapproved coloring matters. According to a recent survey, foodstuffs colored with unapproved coloring matters have been driven almost completely out of the Japanese market.

The authors reviewed the trnasition of coloring matter regulations in Japan.In the latter half of the 19th century synthetic coloring matters began to be used for coloring food both Western countries and Japan. Coloring matter regulations started to be enforced in these countries at around the same time.In 1900 the Regulations for the Control of Harmful Coloring Matters were enacted in Japan. They listed harmful coloring not to be used for coloring food.The official seal system for synthetic coloring commenced in 1941. Containers of synthetic coloring products which had passed the inspections conducted at the National Hygiene Laboratory were sealed with the official certificate seals.Since the above-mentioned regulations prohibited the use of the harmful coloring matters listed, the government did not have a legal basis to forbid the use of other harmful coloring maters until the enactment of the Food Sanitation Law in 1947.
