The Color of Food

Color additives give the red tint to your fruit punch and the green hue to your mint-flavored toothpaste. They are dyes, pigments, or other substances that can impart color when added or applied to a food, drug, cosmetic, or the human body. They can be found in a range of consumer products - from cough syrup and eyeliner to contact lenses and cereal.

This week, a look at the color of food.

TTFN, Fred.
