E150c, also known as caramel color, is a food additive used to enhance the color of various products. It is produced by heating sugars, often in the presence of acids or alkalis, resulting in a dark brown hue. This additive is commonly found in beverages, sauces, and baked goods. E150c is classified as a safe ingredient by many food safety authorities, including the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). However, some individuals may have sensitivities to food colorings, so it's essential to check product labels for this additive.
