Pandalab Blue Oil-Based Food Coloring for Chocolate & Candy — 80 mL, Heat- and Freeze-Stable

Pandalab Blue Oil-Based Food Coloring is a professional-grade edible dye designed to color fats and oils—perfect for chocolate, candy melts, buttercream, and fondant without breaking or seizing.

This concentrated oil-based blue dye blends smoothly into any fat- or oil-containing confection, delivering vivid, stable color that stands up to heating and freezing. Unlike water-based gels, this formula integrates with chocolate, ganache, and candy melts so you keep silky texture and glossy finish. The 80 milliliter (2.7 fl oz) bottle offers enough pigment for multiple batches, and the upgraded ingredients meet US food-safety standards.

How does this oil-based dye work with chocolate and candy melts?

The dye is formulated to disperse in fats and oils rather than water, so it mixes evenly into tempered chocolate, couverture, and candy melts without causing bloom or seizing. A little goes a long way: a few drops tint large batches, while more drops deepen hue for bright, saturated results. Shake well before use to ensure consistent color strength.

• Designed specifically for butterfat and oil media like chocolate and ganache
• Won't separate or thin chocolate shine when properly dosed
• Heat- and freeze-stable—color remains vivid after temperature changes

Can I use this in buttercream, fondant, and other icings?

Yes — the oil base blends into butter-rich icings such as American buttercream and ganache-ready frostings without changing texture. It’s not suitable for water-based syrups or drinks; for those you’ll need water-soluble colorants. Start with small amounts and adjust to reach pastel or vibrant tones.

• Works well in buttercream, meringue with fat additions, and fondant
• Won’t introduce grainy texture or off-flavors to finished frostings
• Not recommended for water-based batters, beverages, or clear syrups

Is this product safe for people with allergies or dietary restrictions?

Pandalab’s formula avoids most common allergens and is vegan-friendly and non-GMO, but it does contain soy. It does not include gluten, nuts, dairy, eggs, fish, shellfish, or added sugars, and is formulated to preserve the taste and consistency of your baked goods. Always check the label if you need to avoid soy.

• Free from gluten, nuts, dairy, eggs, fish, shellfish, and added sugar
• Vegan-friendly and non-GMO—contains soy as the only listed allergen
• Formulated from approved MSDS materials to meet US food standards

How should I store and use this dye for best results?

Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Shake vigorously before each use to re-suspend pigment, and dispense using a toothpick or dropper to control intensity. Because it is concentrated, add color gradually until you reach the shade you want.

• Store in a cool, dry cabinet—avoid heat and sunlight
• Shake well before use for even color distribution
• Use sparingly: add drops steadily and test on small batches
