Pandalab Amber Oil-Based Food Coloring for Chocolate & Frosting — 80 ml, Heat- and Freeze-Stable

Pandalab Amber Oil-Based Food Coloring is a professional-grade edible dye formulated for fat-based confections like chocolate, candy melts, frosting and ganache in an 80 ml (2.7 fl oz) bottle.

Designed for bakers and chocolatiers, this oil-soluble amber dye blends reliably into butter, oils and cocoa-butter systems so you can produce rich, consistent color in confections where water-based colors fail. The formula meets US food safety standards, is vegan and non-GMO, and holds color through heating and freezing when used as directed. Shake well before using to resuspend pigments and get predictable results every time.

How do I use this oil-based color with chocolate and candy melts?

Add a few drops of the amber color to melted chocolate, candy melts or ganache while stirring gently for even distribution. Because the dye is oil-soluble, it disperses into fat-based mediums without seizing the chocolate or thinning buttercream unexpectedly. Start small and build to the shade you want.

• Compatible with chocolate, compound coatings and candy melts
• Mix into melted or tempered chocolate at low heat
• Add gradually: 1–5 drops per 100 g as a starting guideline
• Shake bottle well before dosing for consistent strength

Will this coloring work in buttercream, fondant or macarons?

The amber oil dye is ideal for butter-based frostings and fat-containing creams but will not dissolve in water or syrup-based recipes. For buttercream and ganache it creates even, saturated tones without changing texture; for water-based fondants and icings you should use water-soluble colors instead. The product does not contain common allergens except soy, so check labels if soy is a concern.

• Great for buttercream, ganache, and fat-rich fillings
• Not suitable for water-based icings or beverages
• Doesn’t alter flavor, texture, or sweetness when used properly
• Contains soy; free from gluten, nuts, dairy, eggs, fish, shellfish

How stable is the color during baking, freezing and storage?

This oil-based dye is formulated to retain its tone through common bakery processes like heating, cooling and freezing when used in fat-based systems. It resists fading in refrigerated or frozen confections and won’t separate when properly mixed into fats. For long-term storage of colored products, store in a cool, dark place to preserve hue intensity.

• Heat- and freeze-stable in fat-containing recipes
• Resists fading when incorporated correctly
• Best results when bottle is shaken before use
• Store away from direct heat and light for prolonged shelf life

Are there safety or ingredient notes I should be aware of?

Pandalab’s amber food dye is manufactured to meet US edible safety guidelines and uses tested materials in its formulation. It is vegan and non-GMO, does not include common allergens such as nuts or dairy, but the formulation contains soy—important for people with soy sensitivity to note. The color is meant exclusively for edible uses in fat-based preparations, not for beverages or water solutions.

• Made with ingredients conforming to US food standards
• Vegan-friendly and non-GMO
• Allergen alert: contains soy
• Not intended for use in drinks or water-based products

Who is this for: This 80 ml Pandalab amber oil food coloring is aimed at home bakers, professional pastry chefs, chocolatiers and cake decorators who need a dependable oil-soluble dye for chocolate, candy melts, buttercream and other fat-containing confections. Choose this bottle if you want a stable, vibrant amber tone that blends into fatty media without affecting taste or texture and is produced to recognized food-safety standards. If you need water-soluble color for icings or beverages, select a water-based product instead.
