FDA-CERTIFIED COLOURS

The colours that are approved in the USA for colouring foods, medicines and cosmetics
are listed in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, parts 1-99 (= CFR 21).
Their use is monitored by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration).
Various non-European states use the US system for orientation.
The purity requirements applicable in the USA are sometimes different from those in the EU,
and in some cases content of pure colour is greater.
Batches of synthetic dyes therefore require an FDA certificate for the American market
and for countries that use this system for orientation.
