About CLASSIC GEL FOOD COLORS - RED, BLUE, GREEN, YELLOW
Great Value Classic Gel Food Colors is a set of gel-based food coloring products sold in four colors — red, blue, green, and yellow — under Walmart's Great Value brand for home baking use. Each 6-gram serving contains 250 calories per 100 grams (15 calories per serving), 66.67 grams of carbohydrates per 100 grams, and no fat or protein — consistent with a sugar- and starch-based gel product used in very small quantities.
The primary ingredients are corn syrup and sugar, which provide the viscous gel base that allows these colorants to blend smoothly into icings, batters, and fondants without adding excess liquid as liquid food dyes do. Water and modified cornstarch contribute to the gel consistency. The colorants present are Yellow 5 (tartrazine), Blue 1 (brilliant blue), and Red 40 (allura red) — all FD&C-certified synthetic azo dyes approved by the FDA for food use. The combination of Yellow 5, Blue 1, and Red 40 in a single product allows formulation of all four declared colors (red = Red 40, blue = Blue 1, yellow = Yellow 5, green = Yellow 5 + Blue 1).
Sodium benzoate serves as the antimicrobial preservative. Carrageenan is used as an additional gelling agent alongside modified cornstarch. Citric acid functions as both a preservative and flavor adjunct. The synthetic dyes Yellow 5 and Red 40 require advisory labeling in the European Union for potential effects on children's activity and attention. No allergens are declared. This product is used in extremely small quantities for baking decoration, making actual allergen and calorie exposure negligible in normal use.
