Patent Blue V Food Colour (E131 / Acid Blue 3 / Food Blue 5) Manufacturer & Exporter

A synthetic blue-to-violet dye used (where legally permitted) in confectionery, jellies, glazes, ice cream, and beverages. Also known as E131, INS 131, or CI Food Blue 5. Often combined with Tartrazine (E102) or Quinoline Yellow (E104) to create shades of green.

Not for food. Patent Blue V (E131) is not approved by the FDA for use in food in the United States, and it's similarly restricted in Canada, Australia, and a few other markets outside the EU. In medicine, a related form is used in specific diagnostic procedures, but that's a separate, tightly controlled pharmaceutical use, not a food-color approval.

It's a synthetic triarylmethane dye with no animal-derived inputs, and it's generally listed as halal by major halal-certification directories. As always, confirm kosher status against your specific supplier's certificate.
