E160 stands for carotenoids, the yellow, orange and red pigments found in carrots, tomatoes and peppers. It is used when a label says “carotenoids” without naming the type (E160a–E160f).
Wheat flour, vegetable oil, salt, sugar, colour (160), dried onion and garlic, pepper, natural colour (160a).
E160 is the common code for the carotenoid group, yellow, orange and red pigments. A label uses this code when it does not name the type; each specific type has its own code: E160a (carotenes), E160b (annatto), E160c (paprika extract), E160d (lycopene), E160e (beta-apo-8'-carotenal) and E160f (ethyl ester of beta-apo-8'-carotenoic acid).
Circular 24/2019/TT-BYT has no row for INS 160 as such. Its Appendix 1, the list of additives permitted in food, lists specific carotenoids, for example beta-carotene (160a(i)), annatto (160b(i)) and lycopene (160d(i)); see the page of each code.
