Natural Color Concentrates
Currently, the FDA has no definition for a natural color. As a result, many companies have developed their own standards for natural. Non-certified food colors typically fit the consumer mindset of a ‘natural’ color. These include colors derived from beet, grape, spirulina, turmeric, paprika, and minerals.
