🥦 FDA-Compliant Natural Food Colorants for B2B Food & Beverage Brands
As the FDA prepares to phase out synthetic petroleum-based dyes by the end of 2026, food and beverage manufacturers must shift toward natural food colorants to ensure compliance and meet evolving consumer expectations for clean label products.

Lee’s Mum (Shanghai) Industry Development Co., Ltd. provides a wide range of plant-based, safe, and sustainable food colorants tailored to the needs of B2B food manufacturers, private label brands, and functional food innovators.
🌈 Why Are Synthetic Dyes Being Banned by the FDA?
The U.S. FDA recently announced that eight commonly used synthetic food colorants—including FD&C Red No. 3 and Yellow No. 5—will be phased out by 2026 due to potential health concerns, particularly in children.
This marks a pivotal moment for the food industry to:
- Remove petroleum-based additives
- Transition to natural, health-forward formulations
- Win the trust of increasingly conscious consumers
💡Food manufacturers must act now to reformulate and stay compliant.
