The perfect brown palette: pet food coloring that performs
The classic caramel
Caramels, produced by the controlled heating of sugars, are the world’s oldest food color, being used in brewing as far back as the 19th Century. Their bold colors and great stability make them the perfect pigment for a whole host of applications, from wet canned food to baked treats and kibbles. Produced in our Spanish caramel production facility, Oterra can offer petfood approved caramelised sugar products to suit your needs.
Caramel alternatives
Whilst caramels are perfect for wide portfolio of products, there are situations where an alternative may be more appropriate. Malt extracts and blends of naturally derived pigments can offer a range of shades across the brown spectrum. For a cleaner, ‘cooked apple juice (color)’ labelling, there is our great caramel replacement, Simply Brown.
