Bright, vibrant red colour with strong pigmentation, so a small amount goes a long way. Mixes evenly into batters and icing without affecting texture. Reliable quality for baking and decorating, though it can stain easily if spilled.

as a baker i appreciate how deep this colour is because it is so rare for a colour to be this dark mostly when it’s red and love how easy it makes things

5/5 We use this to make red playdough. We also use this to make red icing for baking. Tip, use gloves when using so you don’t get red hands.

Of late, I've converted to gel food colouring as the colour is more intense without interfering with the integrity and consistency of whatever you're colouring. But Coles didn't have any so I grabbed this for my red velvet cake. I was really pleased with the vibrancy of the colour

I purchased this red food colouring for colouring muffins and cakes. It is a trusted brand and I remember my Mother using the same when I was a child. Hence why I chose it too. I would recommend it to anyone who needs to colour food or craft for kids. The price is right and it goes along way.
