Synthetic food colors are certified colors that are commonly used in the form of dyes or lakes. These include tartrazine, Allura red AC, sunset yellow FCF, and brilliant blue FCF. E numbers are codes for chemicals that can be used as food additives for use in food products in the European Union and other regions. Following are the E numbers for colors (E100 - E199).
The FDA regulates color additives to ensure that they are safe for human consumption. The regulations also help ensure that food products with colorings are accurately labeled so that the consumers are aware of what they are consuming. In order to determine the approval of an additive, the FDA studies the composition of it, how much is consumed, notes any health effects, and safety factors that need to be witnessed. Once the food dye is approved, the FDA determines an appropriate level of use for the concerned additive. The FDA only approves additives if there is a reasonable certainty of no harm to consumers. There are two types of approved color additives: dyes and lakes. Dyes are water-soluble and are usually available in the form of powders, granules, or liquids. Lakes are not water-soluble and are found in products that contain fats and oils.
Processed food products witnesses a high demand with new product developments
Colors make food products visually appealing and enable the identification of flavors in a food item, which helps increase the salability of the product. Processed food products, such as crisps, sausage rolls, tinned vegetables, savory snacks, and other convenience foods, account for the largest market share in the food colors industry. The processed food Products industry is gradually growing as a result of the high demand for convenience foods with improved lifestyles. European Union was the largest importer of processed food products in the world, accounting for USD 462.3 billion in 2017, followed by the US, which recorded USD 117.2 billion, and China USD 64.9 billion. China has witnessed a 10.2% of CAGR on the imports of processed since 2015-2017, which was faster as compared to other developing countries. In the near future, the processed food products market is estimated to grow continuously due to factors, such as diet upgrades, resulting from a rise in incomes, as well as growing health. IRI data analyzed by The Good Food Institute witnessed a larger increase, with plant-based meat sales, which is 454% higher than the previous year in the week of March 21. This growth in the processed food industry has led to an increase in demand for food colors as an additive in these products.
