Pandalab Yellow Oil-Based Food Coloring for Chocolate & Buttercream — 80 ml, Concentrated Vegan Dye

Pandalab Yellow oil-based food coloring is a concentrated edible dye formulated to color fat-rich confections like chocolate, candy melts, ganache, and buttercream without seizing or fading.

Designed for bakers, chocolatiers, and hobbyists, this 80 milliliter (2.7 fl. oz) bottle uses oil-soluble pigments so you can tint fatty or oily ingredients that water-based dyes can't handle. The formula meets US safety standards, is vegan, non-GMO, and free of common allergens except soy. Shake well before use to ensure even color distribution.

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

Because the pigments dissolve in oil rather than water, the dye blends smoothly into tempered chocolate and candy melts without causing them to seize. It preserves the finished texture and shine when used sparingly and mixed thoroughly.

• Specifically formulated for fats: ideal for cocoa butter and compound chocolate
• Add a few drops to melted chocolate; stir until uniform
• Won't separate when chocolates are cooled and set

Can I use it in buttercream, ganache, and fondant?

Yes — the oil-based dye colors buttercream, ganache, and oil-containing fondant without altering their consistency. It’s especially useful for butter-rich frostings where water-based colors would thin or curdle the mixture.

• Use small amounts to reach desired hue; oil dyes are concentrated
• Works well in butter-based frostings, ganache, and candy coatings
• Not suitable for water-based icings or beverages

Will this color survive heating or freezing during baking?

Pandalab’s oil-based dye is formulated to remain stable through common temperature changes like melting, chilling, and gentle baking steps, so colors stay vibrant after heating or freezing. Avoid extreme prolonged oven exposure when possible for best vibrancy.

• Stable when melted and re-solidified (chocolate, ganache)
• Retains color after refrigeration or brief freezing
• Not intended for high-temperature dry-baking where direct exposure exceeds typical confectionery use

Are there allergen or dietary concerns I should know about?

The dye is free from gluten, nuts, peanuts, dairy, eggs, fish, and shellfish, and is labeled vegan and non-GMO; however, it contains soy. It’s produced with approved materials that meet US food safety standards, but always check labels when serving guests with strict allergies.

• Contains soy — not safe for soy-allergic consumers
• Vegan-friendly and no common allergens like nuts or dairy
• Complies with US food safety materials; MSDS-approved ingredients

Who is this for? Pandalab Yellow oil-based food coloring is made for home bakers, professional pastry chefs, and candy makers who need a reliable, concentrated yellow that works with chocolate, butter-based frostings, ganache, and candy melts. If you frequently color fat-containing confections or make decorated chocolates and want vivid, non-separating color, this dye is a practical addition to your pantry. For water-based icings, drinks, or recipes that explicitly call for water-soluble dyes, choose a water-based colorant instead.
