Recent studies have linked artificial food colorings to cancer and brain tumors as well as links to hyperactivity ADD, ADHD, and other disruptive behaviors in children. Artificial colors are made up of tar derivatives, long chain hydrocarbons, and other petrochemicals and are of no use to your body. In an effort to safeguard our children the FDA is now requiring a warning label on foods with artificial dyes or colors and is considering, under the advisory of advocacy groups, banning the sale of the following commonly used colors: Yellow #5 & #6, Red #40 & #3, Blue #1 & #2, Green #3, and Orange B. What's the solution? Nature is the Solution! Newport Flavors was the first company to come up with a full array of Natural & Organic Colors and Flavors and has always been committed to bringing our customers the best quality products. These colors are made using only all natural and organic plant extracts which have been shown to be high in bioflavonoids, polyphenols, and antioxidants all of which are active, beneficial, additives to you and your children's daily diet. NOTE: Newport Flavors makes no claims about the suitability of natural food colors for any given purpose. Some colors will impart some flavor on the finished product, and may render unsatisfactory results, others may not hold up well to High-Heat applications. We encourage our customers to begin by purchasing a small sample to test before buying larger quantities. All Sales Are Final.
