EU Food Colorant Groups
EU Regulation 1129/2011 clarifies which colours can be used in food. It splits the colours into two main groups, Group II and Group III.
Group II can be used quantum satis (add as much of this ingredient as is needed to achieve the desired result, but not more). Group III have a combined maximum limit. Additionally there are a few colours that are allowed in certain foods with specific amounts.
Please contact the company for additional information on the limits of how you can use for those colours that fall into Group II and others.
