Flavored milk drinks - Natural Colors' Application
As Gen Z takes the lead in the consumer market, flavored milk drinks have long moved beyond the single label of "nutritional supplement" to become "trendy products" that combine taste delights, emotional value, and social appeal. Achieving both "visual appeal" and "healthiness" has become the key to brand differentiation.
According to China's National Food Safety Standard GB 2760-2024, flavored milk drinks are beverages prepared or fermented using milk or dairy products as the main raw material, supplemented with water and appropriate additives. In recent years, as the "clean label" concept has gained traction globally, 78% of consumers are willing to pay a premium for products made with natural colors. Synthetic colors are gradually being phased out due to potential health risks, making natural colors the top choice for coloring flavored milk drinks.
As a seasoned player in the natural color industry, we leverage compliant raw materials and mature technologies to create full-spectrum natural coloring solutions tailored to the unique characteristics of flavored milk drinks. These solutions not only enhance product visual appeal but also uphold health standards, perfectly meeting the innovation needs of various flavored milk drink products.
