Beet Juice Powder is permitted by the US FDA. Several countries restrict, warning-label, or have reviewed it for safety concerns. The US has more lenient additive rules than the EU, UK, Canada, and Japan, which is why this ingredient remains widely used here.
Generally recognized as safe with no significant toxicological concerns. Consuming beet products can cause beeturia (red/pink urine) and red-tinted stools, which is harmless but may alarm those unaware. Beets are high in oxalates, which could be a concern for individuals with kidney stones (calcium oxalate type) when consuming extremely large quantities of beet concentrate. At normal food coloring use levels, no adverse effects have been identified.
