Do FDA certified color additives and their lakes have to be individually declared when added to the casings for sausage products and the casings are removed but the surface color effect remains?
Yes. Certified colors must be declared whenever used. In situations where colored casings on sausage products impart a color to the product, the manufacturer must continue to apply the product name qualifier “Casing Colored,” and may either include the name of the certified color in the qualifier (e.g., “Artificially Colored with FD&C Red #40,” or may include it in the ingredients statement of the sausage product.
