Elemental chlorine maybe, but there’s none of that in green 7.



I agree. Probably the confusion is caused by the common name of the additive for fish tanks "Dechlorinator". But the "Dechlorinator" does not remove Chlorine atoms from the water. It only transform the NaClO (bleach [1]) into NaCl (table salt[1]). It "steals" the oxygen and binds it to another molecule.
