Can I claim that the colouring used is natural?

Updated by SFA
The Food Regulations do not specify the definition for the claim, natural, for colouring matters. The onus is on the food business to ensure that the voluntary claim you intend to make, is truthful and can be substantiated. In general, colouring matters under Part II of the Fifth Schedule may be regarded as 'natural' provided that they are obtained from natural food sources and not chemically synthesised or altered.
