History of Coloring in Food
There is ample evidence that early civilizations introduced color into their food. Ancient Egyptians colored food yellow with saffron, and saffron is mentioned in Homer's Iliad, dating from 700 B.C.E. Pliny the Elder relates that wines were artificially colored in 400 B.C.E. Wealthy Romans ate white bread that had been whitened by adding alum to the flour.

Food coloring was most likely invented by the Romans who used saffron and other stuff to give foods yellow colors. Food coloring wasn't officially legal in the USA until 1906, and have induced much controversy since. For more info go to: http://homecooking.about.com/library/weekly/aa020298.htm
