Sphere Foods Perfect Red natural red food colouring

For many years, processors have searched for a natural, organic replacement for producing a red food colourant. Sphere Foods’ Perfect Red, available in a crystal form, is useful across a wide spectrum of food products.

The product is a crystal, not a dust or liquid, so it is easy to use and mess-free. It has a five-year shelf life from date of manufacture and does not need refrigeration during transport or storage. There are multiple colours for use in beverage and food products.

Highly concentrated and completely soluble, the crystal is said to provide greater colour stability than other natural products and does not precipitate out of product. This gives a longer finished product shelf life — up to three times longer than other comparable product, according to the company. It is free of sulfur dioxide and does not contain carriers, meaning it is low in sugars and calories. The supply is said to be as stable as the product itself.
