I know that when labeling your cookies that you are required to list all the ingredients, I get that but when listing the ingredients in the food coloring, if multiple colors are used, can you just put "FD&C Colors" or do you have to list for example, "Yellow 6, Blue 1, Red 40"? I hope this makes sense.
Thanks so much!

This is for my sugar cookie with royal icing...

Yankeegal - Okay, that covers it! I can see I need more detailing on my labels! Thanks!

I list that the cookies "may contain one or more of the following FD&C colors" and then list all of the colors. That way I don't have to adjust my label with every single order.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!! I really, really appreciate it!! Exactly what I was looking for!
