U.S. FDA Color Additive Requirements

U.S. FDA Color Additive Requirements for Food, Beverage, and Dietary Supplements

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) enforces strict regulations on the use of color additives in food, beverage, and dietary supplement products. All color additives must be clearly declared on product labels, and the use of any unapproved color additive is a direct violation of FDA regulations.

Batch Certification & FDA Compliance

For any color additive used in foods, beverages, or dietary supplements, FDA requires one of the following:

  • Batch Certification by the FDA
  • Or an official exemption from certification

To obtain batch certification, manufacturers must submit a sample from each production batch of the color additive, along with corresponding documentation. FDA will then conduct a chemical analysis and issue certification if the color additive meets its stringent quality and safety standards.
