Spirulina solves the missing hues in Blue and Green
The United States Food and Drug Administration recently expanded the applications in which Spirulina can be used as a colorant.
Originally approved for use in candy and chewing gum Spirulina, with this new approval, is now approved for use in a wider range of products, including frostings, ice cream and frozen desserts, dessert coatings and toppings, beverage mixes and powders, yogurts, custards, puddings, cottage cheese, gelatin, breadcrumbs, and ready-to-eat cereals (excluding extruded cereals). For further information, please refer to the Listing of Color Additives Exempt From Certification; Spirulina Extract (21CFR 73.530).
