Colouring foods are the smart answer to the growing demand for natural colours without E-numbers.
They are derived from fruits, vegetables, algae, flowers, or spices and, unlike conventional dyes, retain the flavor and nutrients of their primary material. Coloring foods are therefore declared as food – not as additives. This makes them ideal for clean-label concepts that emphasize transparency, naturalness, and trust.
