The unsulfonated aromatic amine 4-nitro-p-cresidine (2-methoxy-5-methyl-4-nitrobenzenamine) was identified as an impurity in the regulated color additive FD&C Red. No. 40. The compound was isolated from the water-soluble color by extraction with chloroform, followed by transfer of the free amines to
