                                According to reports from consumers and food bloggers, it is a surprising but common occurrence to find Red 40 and other artificial colors listed in the ingredients for pre-made white frosting. This often happens to counteract the natural yellow tint from butter or vanilla and is something many people overlook until they read the label.
