There are two ways that red yeast rice is colored. The traditional manner is fermenting it in mold which yields a strong red color with a hint of purple. The most commercialized version is quicker to make but does not result in the strong color of fermentation. The chemical dye used in most cases is Sudan Red, more commonly known as Red #2.
