English term

FD&C Yellow Number 5

English to Arabic Other Food & Drink ingredients, US regulations
This is an ingredient in a food product. I know what FD&C stands for, but how do you put this in Arabic without making it look extremely clumsy?

It does actually, but I mentioned it before you post it :-D

FD&C This acronym means Food, Drugs and Cosmetics and refers to the Federal Food, Drugs and Cosmetics Act. Maybe that helps a bit?

أصباغ صفراء مصرحة (5)

but the usual formation of such phrases on food packages is:
ملونات آمنة/ مرخصة (لون أصفر 5)

They never write meningfull sentences, but rather a sort of excessive list of components. I understand that FD&C stands for أصباغ كيماوية تم اختبارها والموافقة على استخدامها في الطعام الأدوية ومواد التجميل, right ??

تارترازين

Tartrazine (also known as "FD&C Yellow Number 5" or "E-102" in Europe) is a coal-tar derivative that is used to color foods, cosmetics, and other products. It is literally industrial waste. Some persons might have a strong sensitivity to this substance. If you get mysterious hives or sometimes wake up with swollen eyelids, this could be the culprit.

SO:
it is a chemical substance used in colouring. The best way is to translates it as follows:
You write in Arabic the word تارترازين along with the English name as it is (better to be between brackets).
OR:

You write in Arabic the word مادة ملونة (تارترازين) along with the English name as it is (better to be between brackets).
