17 Feb 2020 --- A revised regulation of the use of annatto food color, a popular raw material providing warm yellow to reddish orange shades, will be voted on later this month in the EU. If approved, there will be an impact on European F&B manufacturers as well as manufacturers with European exports. FoodIngredientsFirst speaks with Chr. Hansen which is aiming to offer solutions if and when the new EU revision on annatto comes into force. “We will review all our annatto-based colors to ensure they are compliant with any new regulations, but we don’t expect to run into issues with which we cannot comply,” says the company.
