Food Colors
Food colors are versatile additives used to enhance the visual appeal of various food products. They find applications in a wide range of items, from candies and baked goods to beverages and sauces. These colors are used not only for aesthetics but also to indicate flavor, distinguish between different product varieties, and even create seasonal or thematic product offerings. Whether it’s the bright red of a strawberry-flavored drink or the golden hue of a honey mustard sauce, food colors play a pivotal role in making our culinary experiences more visually appealing and enjoyable.
