The Codex Committee on Food Additives has adopted nine colors for use in food supplements at levels consistent with recommendations by the International Alliance of Dietary/Food Supplement Associations (IADSA). The committee agreed to move allura red AC (300 mg/kg); caramel color, class IV (20,000 mg/kg); carotenoids (300 mg/kg); chlorophylls, copper complexes (500 mg/kg); erythrosine (300 mg/kg); fast green FCF (600 mg/kg); grape skin extracts (500 mg/kg); indigotine (300 mg/kg); and iron oxides (7500 mg/kg) forward for the Codex General Standard for Food Additives (GSFA), which sets conditions for permitted food additives to be used in all foods. These colors will be reviewed in July by the Codex Commission, the decision-making body in Codex, for possible adoption.
