I don't have a very good solution for this one. I don't think "amaranth" is still used as a colour, or probably for very few products. So maybe we could just rename the additive to en:E123, Amaranth colour.

I'll go through the amaranths and see if there are any colors. And try to remove the word from the additives.

Well "Amaranth" is the name of the additive, so we need to keep it, but if you put "Amaranth colour" as the name of the additive, it won't match "amaranth".
