Is E161g Kosher?

Kosher all year around


Description: Canthaxanthin (food colouring)

Function: food colouring

Rationale: Canthaxanthin used as a food colour is commercially produced by total chemical synthesis from beta-ionone precursors, not extracted from animal sources, so no kashrut concern found (no authoritative kashrut agency flag located).

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.
