About GEL FOOD COLORS, NEON
Great Value Gel Food Colors Neon (2505050 variant) is a near-identical product to the 2505255 listing, with the same formulation: corn syrup, sugar, water, modified cornstarch, Yellow 6, Yellow 5, Red 3, carrageenan, potassium sorbate, citric acid, sodium benzoate, and Blue 1. The differences between the two SKUs are likely packaging format or count, not formula.
As with the companion listing, Red 3 (erythrosine) is the key regulatory concern. The FDA's January 2025 ban order on Red 3 gives manufacturers until January 2027 to remove it from food products. This product is in the phase-out window. Yellow 5 is an FD&C dye with documented sensitivity in some consumers. Yellow 6 and Blue 1 are standard approved dyes.
At 250 calories per 100 grams from pure sugar and corn syrup, these gel colors contribute caloric sweetness in addition to pigment. In practical use, quantities used are small and caloric impact is minimal. No HFCS, no TBHQ, no BVO, and no PHOs. Consumers seeking Red 3-free alternatives should look for gel colors listing only plant-based dyes (beet powder, spirulina, etc.) or dyes without Red 3 specifically.
