Food Colours & Food Ingredients for the Food Manufacturing Industry
Ahmed & Co. has supplied food colours and food ingredients to manufacturers across Pakistan and the UAE since 1972. We work with beverage producers, confectionery brands, bakeries, and dairy manufacturers to help them source the colour preparations their products require.
Food Colour Solutions for Food Manufacturers in Pakistan and the UAE
Colour is one of the first things a consumer notices in a food or beverage product. Getting it right — consistently, batch after batch — matters. Ahmed & Co. supports food manufacturers, processors, and traders by supplying food colour preparations and food ingredients that match their production requirements.
This page explains how we work with the food manufacturing industry. For the actual product list, E numbers, FD&C references, and technical details, visit our Food Colours product page.
Regulatory Note: Food colour permissions, labelling requirements, and permitted applications vary by product grade, jurisdiction, and end use. Customers are responsible for verifying that any colour preparation they purchase is permitted for their specific product category and market under applicable food laws — including PSQCA standards in Pakistan and relevant UAE/Gulf food regulations. Documentation such as COAs, specifications, and allergen information is available on request and will carry an as-of date reflecting the batch or document issue date. Regulatory status can change; customers should request current documentation before each purchase.

Food Colour Preparations and Food Ingredients We Supply
We supply food colour preparations in liquid and powder form, along with food ingredients used in food processing. Full product details, permitted uses, and technical specifications are listed on our Food Colours product page. Documentation is available on request — see the request links below each category.
Liquid Food Colour Preparations
Ready-to-use liquid colour preparations for beverages, syrups, dairy products, and other liquid food applications. Dosing rates vary by shade and application — refer to the product specification for guidance.
Powder Food Colours
Dry powder food colours for bakery products, confectionery, dry mixes, and applications where moisture content must be controlled. Available in a range of shades — see product page for current listings.
Food Colour Blends
Blended colour preparations for manufacturers who require specific shades that a single food colour cannot achieve alone. Shade formulation support is available — contact our team to discuss your requirements.
Food Ingredients
We supply food-grade ingredients used in food processing alongside our colour range — including Potassium Metabisulfite, SAPP (Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate), and Guar Gum. Permitted uses and specifications vary by product.
Food Manufacturing Applications
The food colour preparations and food ingredients we supply are used across these manufacturing categories. Permitted use in any specific application depends on the product grade and applicable food regulations in your market — always verify with your regulatory team before use.
Note on application scope: The applications listed above are common manufacturing use cases. Whether a specific food colour preparation is permitted in a particular product category depends on the grade, concentration, and the food regulations of the relevant market. We do not list meat or poultry products as default applications — colour permissions in that category are subject to specific restrictions and require separate verification. If you are producing meat or speciality products, contact us to discuss applicable grades and documentation.
