Bright Flavors, Naturally Colored – No Artificial Dyes

Bright Flavors, Naturally Colored – No Artificial Dyes

At Sour Drops, we believe that bold flavors don’t need artificial colors. As the manufacturers of our own candy, we control every ingredient that goes into our products, and we’re making a commitment to going dye-free.

We’ve been perfecting our sour hard candy without the use of synthetic dyes, opting for plant-based colors that deliver vibrant results—without compromise. 

Why We're Phasing Out Artificial Dyes

Artificial food dyes have been used for decades to create bright, eye-catching colors, but we know that many customers are looking for alternatives. While synthetic dyes are common in candy, they don’t add to the flavor—and for those who prefer a cleaner ingredient list, we want to offer the best possible option.

By using plant-based colors, we’re able to achieve vibrant hues without artificial additives. Whether it’s deep reds from fruits, bright yellows from plants, or soft blues from nature, we’re embracing clean ingredients while keeping the mouth-puckering punch you love.

What’s Next?

Stay tuned as we continue transitioning our flavors to be completely dye-free. This is just the beginning, and we’re excited to bring you along on this journey!
