Food Color Additive Compliance Check (21 CFR and State Rules)

SKS Color AI SKU Check screens the color additives on a product label against 21 CFR and US federal and state rules, which matters as more states restrict synthetic dyes. It checks each component separately, for example icing and the baked item, because the same color can be permitted in one and not the other.

What it does

• Color additive screening against 21 CFR and state-level rules
• Component-level checks (e.g. frosting vs dough)
• Color library and regulatory radar for upcoming changes

Who it is for

Brands reformulating away from synthetic dyes and regulatory teams tracking state color laws.

Common questions

Why check components separately?

Permitted uses for a color additive are tied to specific food types, so one color can be allowed in a coating but not in the baked base.
