  • Abstract:
  • The regulation of food Colors plays a vital role in maintaining food safety and protecting public health. In India, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) governs the use of food Colorants, permitting eight synthetic dyes within permissible limits and encouraging the adoption of natural alternatives. Synthetic food Colors, while widely used for their cost-effectiveness and stability, have been associated with adverse health effects such as hyperactivity, allergic reactions, and carcinogenicity. Despite regulatory frameworks, enforcement remains a significant challenge, particularly in the informal food sector. Growing consumer awareness and demand for clean-label products have accelerated the shift towards natural food Colorants like curcumin, carotenoids, and anthocyanins. However, issues related to their stability, solubility, and production scalability persist. Recent advancements in metabolic engineering, nano-formulations, and encapsulation techniques have shown potential to enhance the viability and safety of natural pigments. This paper explores the current regulatory landscape, health implications, and industry compliance challenges in India, while highlighting future perspectives aimed at achieving sustainable and globally aligned food Coloring practices.
