§ 111415 Drug Color Additive Labeling

• •If a drug is just for coloring other drugs, it must follow special rules.
• •The rules say how it should be packed and labeled.
• •If it doesn’t follow these rules, it’s called 'misbranded' and that’s not allowed.

A company sells a red dye meant to color cough syrup.

If the red dye’s bottle doesn’t have the right label or packaging as required by the rules, it’s breaking the law. The company could get in trouble for selling it like that.
