St. Louis, Missouri - Osage Food Products introduces a new ingredient solution called Osage Colors.

The platform expands the company’s Osage Flavors operation and focuses on perceived-as-natural color options for food and beverage manufacturers.

Osage Colors include anthocyanins and carotenoids sourced from plant-based materials.

These ingredients are available in both liquid and powder formats, giving product developers flexibility across a wide range of applications.

The color range includes reds, purples, blues, yellows, and oranges, allowing brands to create vibrant products without relying on artificial dyes.

The company states that the new platform works well in beverages, bakery items, snacks, confectionery, and dry mixes.

For bakery manufacturers, this means more options to meet growing demand for simple labels and ingredient transparency.

Natural color solutions continue to gain importance as brands respond to retailers and consumer interest in recognizable ingredients.

“Our customers are asking for natural color solutions that work as hard as their flavors,” said Dennis Reid, vice president of marketing and specialty ingredients at Osage Colors. “Osage Colors is built to deliver that by pairing technical know-how with the speed, flexibility and support product developers need.”

The launch reflects a larger shift in the food industry toward plant-based and clean-label ingredients.

Manufacturers are not only looking for strong color performance but also for solutions that align with modern product positioning.

By combining technical expertise with a broad color palette, Osage aims to support bakery and food developers as they create products that stand out on shelves while meeting ingredient expectations.

The Osage Colors platform signals continued investment in innovation across natural flavors and colors for the food industry.
