Yellow Food Coloring

Yellow Food Coloring

Everyday

Yellow food coloring is a food additive used to impart or enhance yellow hues in food and beverage products. Available in both synthetic forms (like FD&C Yellow #5 and #6) and natural versions (derived from sources like turmeric or beta carotene), these colorings are carefully regulated by food safety authorities. While synthetic versions offer superior stability and consistency, natural alternatives are increasingly popular for clean-label products and typically contribute negligible nutritional value to foods.
