Is Blue 1 Vegan?

December 13, 2022 by Samuel Warde 3 Comments

brilliant blue 1 vegan

Blue 1 – Brilliant Blue FCF – is a commercial food dye used in many popular candies and beverages. Some people assume Blue 1 and other food colorants, such as Red 40, Yellow 5, and Yellow 6, are not vegan because they are made from insects. However, it is actually the commercial pigment Carmine that is made from crushed Cochineal bugs. Blue 1, like the other aforementioned numbered dyes, is a synthetic dye that is actually derived not from insects but from petroleum, which means Blue 1 is vegan. Now, you can finally breathe.

However, there are lots of options out there to choose from when it comes to selecting blue pigment applications on the internet. You can choose a type where it is vegan.

Is Blue 1 Halal?

Yes, because it is just derived from petroleum and not from any animals.
