What it is

Mfg is a synthetic food coloring. It is a derivative of coal tar, a byproduct of coal processing. It is manufactured through a chemical synthesis process.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add Mfg to foods to provide or enhance color. It is often found in processed foods such as snacks, baked goods, and beverages where a bright or consistent color is desired.

Health notes

In the US, Mfg is approved as a food additive by the FDA. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated food colorings, and their safety is generally recognized at typical consumption levels. Some studies have explored potential links between certain synthetic food colorings and behavioral changes in children, though evidence is mixed and not conclusive.

Allergen info

Mfg is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
