Measuring the Color

of Baby Food

Baby food has high-quality check standards, and there is no room for error. Parents consider color a crucial factor when buying a baby food product because it can be one of the best indicators of quality. HunterLab provides the ideal color measurement solutions to ensure that the finished product is visually delicious for the consumer and consistently flawless for the food producer. Our distinctive color measuring instruments give manufacturers quantitative values to accurately evaluate their quality.

Why measure the color of baby food?​

Color consistency is a crucial product feature for baby food manufacturers as parents are very cautious in buying the best quality baby food for their little ones. The right bright colors also help babies with their ability to choose nutritious food that is also visually appealing. Baby food manufacturers can rely on color measurement solutions to determine the proper standards for their products and eliminate the risk of delivering batches that are not up to the mark.

Imagine a banana puree that is slightly off color. It will trigger alarm bells for parents and cause severe damage to a brand’s reputation leading to a decline in sales and loss of market share.

HunterLab’s spectrophotometers are used widely to measure the color of baby food. The objective measurement solutions describe the color as a series of numerical values with decimal accuracy. This allows for accurate measurement and documentation.

To implement color quality control in baby food production, manufacturers must test a prescribed number of samples against the pre-programmed standard in a spectrophotometer. If the tests return results within an acceptable tolerance range, the batches they represent are clear for bottling. If they produce results outside the standard range, the product should be corrected and retested before processing.
