How should natural colors be listed on a product label?
Edited
Natural colors derived from plant sources need to be identified by their source on the ingredient label. The standard approach is to list them as "colored with [source]" — for example, "colored with turmeric" or "colored with annatto." This transparent labeling format accurately reflects what's in the product and aligns with clean-label expectations. If you're unsure how to format a specific color on your label, we're happy to help clarify how the colorant should be described based on what it is and where it comes from.
