Permitted beverage colours (especially red) in China?
Afternoon all,
I'm looking for help in identifying permitted colours in beverages for China....particularly red. Any help grateful received.
Here's a link to information on permitted additives in food in China.

It also has information for other food regulations in China and where you can find the guidance or regulation.
In addition to the links above, I would very strongly recommend checking with your distributor/importer at the Chinese end of things - my experience of exporting there is that the expectation at customs can sometimes stray beyond the regs and be particularly challenging, so it's very useful to get an idea as to what they think you'll actually be expected to meet when it arrives at the inspection point.
On a similar theme I'd recommend checking this for labelling and pesticide residues (if applicable) too...
