Not kosher
Description: Alpha-carotene, Beta-carotene, Gamma-carotene (food colouring)
Function: food colouring
Rationale:
Beta-carotene used as a food color is commonly stabilized as gelatin-encapsulated beadlets, and fermentation-derived (Blakeslea trispora) beta-carotene can use chametz-derived growth media, per OU/VRG documentation, so reliable certification is required.
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.
