Best Answer

Food coloring is added to make the product the "correct" color in the consumer's eye. For instance, the berries in Cap'n Crunch Berries are not red, blue and purple due to the flavor ingredients - they are colored by food coloring. The same is true of certain processed meat products, particularly bologna and Hot Dogs.

Most times during the preparation of the food, the original colouring is lost

food coloring is added so, if you had a white color you can make it different colors.

ANSWER:

Usually food colouring is added to enhance a food's natural colour to make it more appealing to consumers. For example, orange food colouring is routinely added to Oranges to make them more vivid and attractive.
