Food coloring agents may be organic or inorganic, natural or synthetic. Prominent among them are the (erroneously called) coal-tar colors certified for food use in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration. These and certain vegetable colors such as annatto, turmeric, and beta-carotene (now also produced synthetically) have wide usage in butter and margarine, mustard and other condiments, candies, ice cream, cake toppings, beverages, and other products. The greater variety, coloring value, and stability of synthetic, as compared to natural, colors favor their use in processed foods. 1, record 4, English, - food%20coloring%20agent

Le colorant [...] s'ajoute à certains pesticides toxiques (ex. appâts empoisonnés) pour prévenir les accidents d'intoxication et pour marquer la présence d'enduits pulvérisés sur les végétaux. Il est utilisé également pour les granulés afin de distinguer les granulés traités des granulés non traités. Les pesticides toxiques peuvent être additionnés d'un colorant et d'une matière odorante ou répulsive; on parle alors de la dénaturation de ces produits. 2, record 7, French, - colorant
