Overview

E107 - Yellow 2G

Yellow 2G (E107) is a synthetic yellow food color that was once used to brighten sweets, drinks, and other processed foods. Today it is not commonly seen because major markets like the European Union and the United States do not authorize it for use in food.

E160D - Lycopene

Lycopene (E160d) is a red pigment found naturally in tomatoes and other red fruits. In foods, it is used as a colour additive to give shades ranging from pink to deep red, especially where a “tomato-like” hue is desired. It can come from tomatoes, fermentation, or be made synthetically, but it works the same in coloring foods.
