E180 - Litholrubine bk

Litholrubine bk (E180) is a bright red, synthetic pigment used very sparingly in foods. In the European Union, it is authorised mainly to color the outer rind of certain ripened cheeses, not the interior. It is an insoluble pigment, chosen because it stays on the surface rather than bleeding into the cheese.
