What it is
Sulphite ammonia caramel, also known as E150d, is a dark brown food coloring. It is made by heating carbohydrates (like sugars) with ammonia and sulphite compounds under controlled conditions. This process creates a range of caramel colors with different properties.
Why it's used
This coloring is used to give foods a brown hue, mimicking the color of traditional caramel. It is commonly found in dark-colored beverages like cola, beer, and some spirits, as well as in baked goods, sauces, and confectionery.
Health notes
Sulphite ammonia caramel is approved for use as a food coloring in the United States by the FDA. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated caramel colors. While generally considered safe at typical consumption levels, some studies have raised questions about certain compounds formed during the manufacturing process, though evidence is mixed and ongoing.
Allergen info
Sulphite ammonia caramel is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
