Is E150a Kosher?

Kosher, except for Pesach


Description: Plain Caramel (food colouring)

Function: food colouring

Rationale: Caramel color is made by heating sugars; OU notes the sugar source (e.g., corn dextrose) can be chametz or kitniyot, so a Passover concern applies even though it is kosher year-round.

If you don't see a status above, it does not mean the additive is not kosher automatically - it might just not be documented in our database yet.
