FD&C Food Color, Red #40

Use FD&C red #40 granular powder to create brightly colored shades of vibrant, dark red in baked goods, beverages, confections, mixes, and more. This water soluble powder is FDA-approved for food use and is ideal for commercial baking and prepared foods production. Also called Allura Red AC and NT Red, FD&C red #40 granular powder for baking easily produces a wide range of deep red shades, depending on the amount used. The powdered, granulated formulation produces less dust during use than other powdered food colorings. Use this versatile dye to add color to dry mixes, RTU beverages, ice cream, and frozen treats as well as in doughs and batters. Granulated FD&C red #40 powder creates vivid reds, and is perfect for boosting color in red velvet cakes, frostings, icing, and fillings. Store at ambient temperature in low humidity for up to 72 months.
