McCormick Culinary Red Food Coloring, 16 fl oz - One 16 Fluid Ounce Bottle of Red Food Coloring Liquid for Adding Rich Color to Cakes, Cookies, Icings, and More

For the price comparison for one bottle at the store it is well worth the cost. Made several Red Velvet cakes and the color was so vibrant. Ended up ordering a second bottle for upcoming baking orders. Good quality product.

I bought this they are in the process of banning red dye in the U.S. and when I make my red velvet cake I’m afraid the substitute might change the taste of the cake. It has a long expiration date and it will come in very handy making red velvet goodies for a while as it was a 16oz bottle. Great price too.

Good color quality. Easy to use. Giant size bottle should last a long time. Doesn't really have a taste so that's good.

This large bottle worked well for my Christmas baking and is a great value compared to small grocery store bottles.

It seems like every Christmas when I get ready to make Red Velvet cake, there's an ingredient I forget. Usually it's buttermilk, last year it was the red coloring🤦🏻‍♀️ I used green, not horrible, but not as appealing visually. I made sure that wouldn't happen again by getting a HUGE bottle this year! I wondered about how it would survive the shipping process. It was wrapped in thick bubble wrap in a well-sealed plastic bag inside a box with other items. It was fully intact, no leaking, and ready to use! It's McCormick so I knew the quality would be great & I wasn't disappointed! Sometimes with bold colors there's a bitter taste in what you're making. Not so with the McCormick food coloring! Huge thanks to McCormick for making the larger sizes, it makes life easier for forgetful people like me!

I purchased this last year and liked the color quality.But isn't Red dye 3 now banned in the USA as of January 2025?

I’m a baker! And this is the best deal vs how much you would pay for 1oz at the store! The color is very vibrant in my red velvet cakes!

First things first, the bottle came with a broken cap. The lid part was broken right off from the rest of it, so it would have started evaporating through the small hole right after I broke the seal, but I fixed that. It just so happened that I had the cap for a bottle of coca-cola lying around, and (after washing it off) it happened to fit perfectly. It did, however, make it more difficult to pour the coloring out more carefully without the tinier hole on the real cap. So, if yours comes with a broken cap, a coca cola cap will mostly fix that. Pepsi probably won't work because Pepsi << Coca-cola (In physics, << means so much less than that the other one isn't worth consideration).Anyways, I used this food coloring for fountain pen ink, so what I will say next probably won't apply for cooks and whatnot.It's a great red, excellent flow, and had no terrible issues with any of my pens. I don't have any REALLY high end pens, but if it works for mine (most expensive ones I have are a Lamy Safari and a Hero 100, the second of which was a gift), it should work for a meisterstuck or something. It typically dries actually a tad faster than the average real ink, but not even comparably as fast as Bernanke blue or other quick dry inks.One thing to be noted is that food coloring is not waterproof at all whatsoever. I put this color with some other real inks I had (mostly noodler's, but only a few deemed "bulletproof") on one sheet of paper, then put it under the tap, and in an instant, the food coloring ink was gone (well, not that fast, but you get the idea). This could be detrimental, or useful in some way, if you're worried about stains.If you want a writing sample with McCormick Red, comment below and I'll upload one. Otherwise, I'm just far too lazy to post a writing sample that people don't want to see anyway.
