FRESNO, CALIF. — California Natural Color broke ground on the expansion of its headquarters and manufacturing facility in Fresno, Calif.
California Natural Color said the facility will increase capacity by approximately 300%, which is expected to help scale the production of grape seed extract and natural color ingredients.
"Currently, natural color is a major topic of conversation with regulatory tightening, retailer mandates and growing awareness of ingredient sourcing, driving a strong shift away from artificial food colorings," said Bill McMorran, vice president and general manager at California Natural Color. "With this upcoming expansion, we are well positioned to continue to meet rising market demand by increasing the production capabilities of our broad portfolio of naturally derived color and our innovative crystal technology."
