The Expanding Scope of Food Colors in a Health-Conscious World

Food colorants are more than just additives—they represent culture, identity, and innovation. From enhancing Mediterranean food platters with vibrant hues to brightening Juneteenth food like red velvet cake and hibiscus drinks, colors play a central role in culinary storytelling. The growing preference for natural food colors—such as beetroot, spirulina, and turmeric—is steering consumers away from synthetic counterparts like FD&C colors, long used in processed foods.

Consumers are increasingly aware of the colors added to their foods. They’re also intrigued by food coloring colors that evoke emotion and tradition. For instance, red and purple tones hold deep significance in African-American cuisine, particularly during Juneteenth, symbolizing resilience and heritage. These cultural ties are creating new marketing opportunities for brands that embrace color’s emotional appeal.
