Color Regulatory Affairs Quality Standards for Colors A safety perspective for the brands Sue Ann McAvoy, MS, CFS
Sensient Colors LLC September 23, 2015
Why do we use colorants?
Effective Color Usage Drives Consumer Trial and Acceptance • …a lasting color impression is made within 90
seconds and accounts for 60 percent of the acceptance or rejection of an object …
• Color has a major impact on flavor perception and flavor acceptance.
• Color plays a critical role in product identification.
Research has indicated that people “see” flavors (Acree 2013, Lewis and others 2008), i.e, they form an opinion about the flavor of a food or beverage, based on its color.
What is Permitted Worldwide?
Issues Facing the Global Color Industry
Southampton Study
Sustainability Image can be enhanced by renewable natural colors
Ongoing food safety issues
Lack of specific quality and safety specifications in the regulations
On going import detentions involving color
Synthetic Raw Materials Under Pressure
• Increasing concern and Central Government activity around chemical industry in China and India
• Availability of raw materials has become much more volatile
• Cost are increasing and needs for environmental controls become more wide spread
• Cost could double for synthetic colors over next 2 – 3 years
• Natural colors may become an attractive alternatives from a supply security and environmentally responsible standpoint.

Food Safety Issues in the News
• Extraction solvents not approved for use in colors – varies by region
• Residuals solvents in excess of >1,000 ppm
• Lead and mercury contamination in Carmine
• Pesticide residues in Paprika
• Dioxin in Paprika
• Bacterial and pathogen contamination

Food Safety Issues in the News
• Aromatic amines out of specification in synthetic colors
• Beverage cloud adulterated with plasticizer
• Synthetic dye adulteration of natural colors
• Carthamus adulterated with Orange II
• Saffron adulterated with Carthamus
• Brick in Paprika
• Sudan dyes in Turmeric and Paprika

Product Recalls
• All raw materials have a risk profile that needs to be examined.
• Product recalls are most importantly a public health issue!
• They are also a significant economic issue.
• The average cost of a recall to a food company is $10M USD in direct costs, in addition to brand damage.
• 58% Leading Food Manufacturers in the US has at least one recall in the last five years.
• Recalls can cause FDA and other regulatory bodies to come for inspections at the food manufacturing plants.
• What can we do to help prevent them……?
12
What can we do to prevent them…..?
• Clearly evaluate the supply chain for risks
• These will vary by product, region, manufacturing process and storage conditions
• Establish more robust standards – Current standards are not very detailed and tend to focus on the color
itself
– Need to establish more robust standards based on key risk factors such as microbiological, heavy metals, pesticide, adulteration and the use of unauthorized solvents.
– Need to establish supplier reliability programs and full raw material traceability.

The Aniline is most representative the Aromatic Amine Aniline is toxic by inhalation of the vapour, ingestion, or percutaneous absorption. Aniline damages hemoglobin, a protein that carries oxygen in the blood. The damaged hemoglobin can not carry oxygen. This condition is known as methemoglobinemia and its severity depends on the amount of aniline which was exposed and the duration of exposure. It has permanent carcinogenic effects on rats that have ingested contaminated food with aniline, developing spleen cancer, so it appears to be carcinogenic in humans.

• Botanical Standards will provide a reference used by all in the industry
• Botanical Standards will be the guidance for sourcing • These standards will give a better definition of product
quality • Technology exists that allows for authentication of natural
colors • Industry standards will promote coordination of standards
efforts with FDA , EC and JECFA. • Standards will offer brand protection of all companies in
the supply chain

Pesticidas
Aplica a Colores Naturales (Ej. Cúrcuma y Paprika)
A pesticide is any substance made to control, kill, repel or attract pests. Such pest may be any living organism that causes damage or economic loss or to forward or produce disease.
Pesticide Residues
• Botanical natural color sources carry pesticide risk
• Pesticide residues can be concentrated during the extraction process to much higher levels than might present in a food crops.
• Compliance to EPA, Codex and EU pesticide residue regulations.
• The full list will number over 300 different pesticide types
• For colors from natural sources, a concentration factor based on coloring units, is applied similar to spice extracts.
• Every batch of the botanical product should be tested

Supplier Reliability and Raw Material Traceability
Supplier Reliability
• New supplier or raw material approval process is HACCP based
• Approvals done for each specific manufacturing site
• Hazard analysis on raw materials at the approval step
• Criteria established for rating raw materials “Quality Critical” (IPEC)
• Third party audits at these “Quality Critical” raw material suppliers
• Development of screening tools for potential adulterants
CONFIDENTIAL 47
Third party testing Protocol
• Food plants should meet GFSI requirements
• State-of-the-art GMP manufacturing in all facilities
• HACCP, GMP’s and internal audits should be available.
• IPEC guidelines (stringent pharmaceutical cGMP requirements)
• National organic program

Raw Material Traceability Need full traceability for all ingredients
Benefits to Establishing Standards
The advantages of development and publishing the proposed standards include: • Higher quality color sources available to processors, therefore
raising the quality bar across the industry • Developing and harmonizing standards will stimulate trade • Better definition of product quality • Guidance for sourcing • Availability and reference by all in the industry • Stimulating industry “self-policing,” thus preventing the
regulatory bodies from establishing further enforcement or restricting trade in natural colors
Benefits to Establishing Standards
• Brand protection of all companies in the supply chain
• Ensuring consumer product safety and consumer confidence
