Despite the recent reduction in the permissible amount of synthetic colourants for consumer health reasons, many distinct synthetic food dyes continue to be widely utilised due to their low cost, high efficiency, and outstanding stability.

Focusing on food colourants sources and acknowledging the Halal standard in Malaysia. Based on the finding from this study, the concept of Halal should be combined with safety and health for consumer health, and there is a need for research into new resources for Halal colourants, particularly from natural colourant pigments compared to synthetic colourants.
