1.888.772.1880 MENU Caramel Color for Clean Labels To address the consumer demand for clean labels and “Free From” ingredients, SETHNESS ROQUETTE Products Company continues to expand its wide variety of Caramel Colors that meet the unique specifications of many of today’s food and beverage products. In addition to the diverse color spectrum of SETHNESS ROQUETTE’ Class I to Class IV Caramel Colors, SETHNESS ROQUETTE provides a multitude of clean-label options: Gluten-free Allergen-free G.R.A.S. Certified Organic Minimally-processed Non-GMO Project Verified Vegan Kosher Halal SETHNESS ROQUETTE Caramel Colors are clean, consumer-friendly safe ingredients you can feel good about using. They should be simply labeled as “Caramel Color,” or “Caramel”. Is Caramel Color Natural? This is the most frequently-asked question we hear at SETHNESS ROQUETTE, but there continues to be no legal definition of “natural” in the United States. There has been an industry shift to incorporating more Class I or Plain Caramel Colors, but any class of Caramel Color should simply be labeled “Caramel Color” or “Caramel” on product labels. Since Caramel Color is a single color additive, its compositional constituents need not be listed. Unlike FD&C dyes, Caramel Color does not require certification. Caramel Color is GRAS and in the same category as other natural colorants such as annatto, beta carotene, beet juice, etc. There is no “Natural Certificate” for Caramel Color. SETHNESS ROQUETTE also manufactures one liquid and one powdered Certified Organic Caramel Color that are our most label-friendly Caramel Colors. Download our Natural Status Statement (pdf) Absence of GMO’s in Caramel Colors SETHNESS ROQUETTE Caramel Colors, in their final form, do not contain Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO’s), but depending upon the carbohydrate used to produce a specific Caramel Color, it should be referred to as either “derived from” or “not derived from” GMO’s. SETHNESS ROQUETTE produces its Caramel Colors from any one of these carbohydrates: Highly-refined, high dextrose (glucose) corn syrup Highly-refined, high fructose corn syrup Cane sugar (sucrose) Certified Organic raw cane sugar (sucrose) Corn syrups contain GMO’s, but the corn syrups SETHNESS ROQUETTE uses to manufacture many of our Caramel Colors are refined only from the starch fraction of corn which does not contain GMO’s. Additionally, the cane sugars used in some of our Caramel Colors do not contain GMO’s. Therefore, given the purity of our raw materials and our stringent processing conditions, we can say with confidence that our products are free of any genetically engineered material.
