Use of Food Color


Food coloring is used in almost every type of food situation. Home cooks use it to dye Easter eggs, tint cake frosting, and make certain foods more deeply colored, such as red velvet cake, or key lime pie. Food manufacturers use food colors to create fantastic colors for candy, soda, and chips, but food coloring can also be added to fresh foods to give them a more "natural" look, or to give the consumer what they expect, like more orange oranges. These colors are basically more appealing to children along with the elder ones because of the impression it gives of the food to be tastier.
