Natural Food Dyes

For years, I thought that India Tree was a line of decorating products that used only natural coloring. Then, reading the labels of the bright and festive colored sugars, I realized many of the India Tree products actually contain artificial dyes! I assumed if I went with the brand which made natural coloring that all their products would be safe. But just like with goldfish and chips, often one brand can have products that are more healthy and products that are less healthy. India Tree’s “Nature’s Colors” line is the line with sugars which contain vegetable based dyes. My cabinet is full of sugars by India Tree that contain dyes. I would like to move onto the India Tree products that are more natural–or probably another brand which I think is more committed to making products without artificial dyes. Reading the label closely to find out which of there products contain artificial coloring is a must when trying to find food coloring that is free of artificial dye.
