Notable food-safety incidents are fueling customer concerns about the adulteration of natural colors. That’s why Sensient Colors wants processors to know that it has a superior record with the FDA and Code of Federal Regulations, is GMA-SAFE, and recently achieved Safe Quality Food (SQF) 2000 Level 3 certification. “Sensient is working to be the global leader in establishing industry quality and safety standards for natural colors where none exist,” says Mark Goldschmidt, Sensient director of global quality control and product safety. Sensient also has received third-party certification for risk-management plans, manufacturing and distribution, as well as application of comprehensive and stringent assessment, screening and analytical testing programs for all raw materials and finished products. Sensient also is compliant with the International Pharmaceutical Excipients Council. – Sensient Colors LLC / Sensient Technologies Corp., www.sensientfoodcolors.com
