No Added Sugar Food Colouring

Synthetic food colouring — gel, oil-based, and powder formats — generally contains no added sugar by nature. The active colouring agents are synthetic dyes, not sugar-based ingredients. Colour Mill Oil Based food colouring and Vivid Gel Colours in this collection are confirmed as no added sugar. For more detail on specific products, visit the Colour Mill or Vivid Gel Colours collections.

No Added Sugar Baking Flavourings

The collection includes a comprehensive range of no added sugar baking flavourings in bulk 1 litre sizes — oil-based concentrated essences covering a wide variety of flavour profiles including almond, banana, bubblegum, caramel, cinnamon, coconut, coffee, lemon, orange, peppermint, raspberry, strawberry, and many more. These concentrated essences are used in cake batter, buttercream, fondant, and confectionery. A small amount delivers full flavour with no added sugar.

FAQs — No Added Sugar Food Colouring

Does food colouring contain sugar?

Most synthetic food colouring does not contain added sugar. Gel, oil-based, and liquid food colours use synthetic dye in a carrier base (typically water, glycerol, or food-grade oil) — not sugar-based ingredients. Some decorating products — such as sprinkles, fondant, and candy melts — do contain sugar and are separate from the food colouring in this collection. For specific confirmation, check individual product labels.

What is the difference between no added sugar and sugar free?

"No added sugar" means no sugar has been added during manufacturing — the product may still contain naturally occurring sugars from ingredients. "Sugar free" means the product contains negligible total sugar. For food colouring, this distinction is rarely significant since synthetic food dyes contain minimal or no sugar in either form.

Are the bulk flavourings in this collection no added sugar?

Yes — the bulk oil-based baking essences in this collection are concentrated flavourings with no added sugar. They are used in small quantities (drops or millilitres per batch) to add flavour to baked goods without adding sugar to the recipe. For specific allergen or dietary information, always check the product label.
