Natural Colorants

Natural colorants are pigments derived from plants, animals, or other natural sources. These colorants are free from artificial additives and are commonly used in the food and beverage industries to enhance product appearance and maintain a natural and healthy impression.

Benefiting from Champion’s expertise in OEM and ODM services, plus a wide range of raw ingredient supply network, we provide top premium-quality natural colorants in bulk and offer comprehensive counseling, from market insights to formulation and dosage forms.

Information

Why switching from "Synthetic" to "Natural"？

As global food safety awareness rises and more new announced regulations, synthetic colorants often face increasing scrutiny and restrictions. Champion is dedicated to help companies achieve a smooth transition to natural alternatives while ensuring full regulatory compliance.

Global Regulatory Trends and Labeling Restrictions:

Clean Label and Consumer Trends: Consumers against "artificial additives" is growing annually. Transitioning to natural ingredients has become a strategic necessity for competing in both local and international markets.
Mandatory Warning Labels: Under EU Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008, foods containing specific synthetic colorants must carry a warning label stating: "May have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children."
Regional Bans and Category Restrictions: As the U.S. and EU tighten restrictions on synthetic dyes, we offer the technical expertise and regulatory verification needed to ensure your products are export-ready and 'Clean Label' compliant.
