D.D. Williamson Colors LLC has developed the first certified organic caramel colors made in North America, the company said. The company created the new products in response to its customers' demands for organic ingredients, according to a news release. Caramel color, manufactured from the controlled heat treatment of carbohydrates, is used to color products in food and beverage processing.

D.D. Williamson's new organic products--sucrose-based caramel color and caramelized rice syrup--will include USDA's "organic" seal in conjunction with the Quality Assurance International mark on its labels. The USDA has accredited QAI as a certifying agent for the National Organic Program, which mandates that organic ingredients must be derived from natural sources.
