  Almost all of them. Madder and alkanet aren't considered safe for
  long-term use, but if the eggs aren't cracked, there's less contact with
  the egg, so I wouldn't worry. Brazilwood I couldn't find anything out
  about, but it's nearest cousins, logwood and saunders, are ok.

  As for the others, turmeric, saffron, onion skins, cabbage, elderberries,
  saunders, cochineal, logwood and bedstraw would all be considered safe.
