Analytical approaches to food dye analysis White Paper
With changes in the supply chain and an increased demand for natural products, it is becoming more and more important to test products and ingredients for synthetic food dyes. Synthetic dyes can be used in place of natural color options, or they can be used to make a cheap ingredient look like a more expensive one. Products that claim to only have natural colors that are suspected to have synthetic dyes can be detained by the FDA, resulting in extremely expensive recall testing before return to the market. This white paper serves as a resource for understanding the regulations and industry expectations for food dye testing and details the most common analytical testing options.
Topics covered:
- Industries with potential for food dye adulteration
- Types of food dyes
- Benefits of food dye testing
- Types of testing available
- Recommendations for choosing a testing partner
