About GEL FOOD COLORS, NEON
Favorite Day Gel Food Colors (Neon) is a concentrated baking colorant set from Target's Favorite Day sub-brand, offering bright neon-intensity synthetic dye formulations for decorating cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and other baked goods where vivid, high-saturation colors are desired over standard pastel intensities.
The neon gel color formula uses corn syrup, sugar, water, and modified corn starch as the carrier base. The synthetic dye palette for the neon set includes Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Red 3, Blue 1 — a broader range than the classic set, and notably including Red 3. Red 3 (erythrosine) is a synthetic dye the FDA has ordered food manufacturers to phase out by January 2027 following findings of carcinogenicity in animal studies. Carrageenan is used as a gelling agent. Preservatives include potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate. Citric acid provides acidity. No natural colorants are present.
At 250 calories per 100 grams with 66.67 grams of carbohydrates and no fat, protein, or fiber, a 6-gram serving delivers 15 calories — but actual baking use is typically fractions of a gram. No major allergens are declared. The neon format achieves more vivid, electric color saturation than standard food colorants. The Red 3 inclusion is a consumer flag for those monitoring the FDA phase-out timeline. Best used for decorative baking where bold visual impact is the goal.
