Kosher all year around
Description: Carbon black, Vegetable carbon (food colouring)
Function: food colouring
Rationale:
EU E153 legally denotes 'vegetable carbon' made by charring plant materials (wood, coconut shells, bamboo) rather than animal bone char, and is commercially kosher/halal certified; not_kosher appears to be a mislabel.
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.
