While Weber Flavors specializes in mouth-watering flavors, we recognize that eye-popping color is equally important when creating appetizing food. Food presentation can be as important as how it tastes, and a key part of making food look appealing is getting the color system just right. EA Weber offers a selection of FD&C and natural color blends in liquid form. Weber Flavors is not a primary manufacturer of food colorants and dyes, however, many of our flavors can be formulated "with added artificial colors", eliminating an often messy step in the food production process. Liquid FD&C Colors or Color Blends are also available separately to customize your flavor and color system. A small selection of colorants derived from natural ingredients (formally "Exempt Color Additives") are also available in liquid form: Annatto, Turmeric, Beet, Caramel Colors, and select additional colors derived from plant materials. Weber does not recommend combining color and flavors systems when using these colorants due to mis-matches in solubility, stability, and usage levels. The demand for naturally-colored food products continues to grow. However, there are some difficult technical hurdles to overcome when using many of the naturally-derived colorants currently available. Cost and stability are primary issues that must be addressed during the formulation stage. Our experienced technical teams can help you develop the best color and flavor system for your product, balancing cost, stability and labeling requirements.
