Summary
The article addresses the trending topic “Not Recommended to Buy Dark-Colored Cakes.” Some netizens questioned whether the black color in cheap dark cakes comes from large amounts of synthetic food coloring. Reporters interviewed multiple parties to verify the facts: pastry chef Mr. Lin, who has worked in the industry for over 20 years, said black cakes can be made with ingredients such as black cocoa powder, squid ink, or vegetable carbon black. Even when coloring is used, only a few drops are needed, and excessive amounts would make the cake taste bitter and unsellable. Zhan Chengcheng, vice president of the Anshan Baking Industry Chamber of Commerce, pointed out that the vivid dark colors of trendy cakes are mostly filter effects. Regular stores will not overuse coloring just to chase exaggerated colors, and high-quality edible coloring is relatively expensive. Fan Zhihong, a professor at China Agricultural University, explained that national standards set strict maximum usage limits for synthetic food coloring in cake decoration. In a widely circulated video, pouring half a bottle of coloring at once likely exceeds the standard. Food coloring also has an acceptable daily intake index called ADI, and children, having lower body weight, have even lower tolerance. Experts also reminded the public that eating a dark cake occasionally is no cause for excessive panic. What truly warrants vigilance is the health burden of high sugar and high fat. They recommended that children strictly limit how often they eat decorated cakes, and that people prioritize natural, fresh ingredients in their daily diet.
Main Points
* 1. The black color of dark cakes does not all come from large amounts of artificial coloring; the industry has multiple alternative ingredients.
Pastry chefs explain that ingredients such as black cocoa powder, squid ink, and vegetable carbon black can achieve the black effect. Only a few drops of coloring are needed, and an excessive amount would make the cake taste bitter and unsellable.
* 2. The exaggerated dark colors of trendy cakes are mostly filter effects and are hard to recreate in reality.
Baking industry representatives say regular stores will not overuse coloring to chase exaggerated colors, and high-quality edible coloring is relatively expensive, making large-scale use impractical.
* 3. National standards impose strict limits on synthetic coloring in decorated cakes, and the half-bottle of coloring shown in the viral video likely exceeds the standard.
Food science experts, citing national standards and the acceptable daily intake ADI index, point out that pouring half a bottle of coloring at once probably exceeds the limit, and children, with lower body weight, tolerate even lower amounts.
* 4. Compared with coloring, the health burden of the high sugar and high fat in cakes deserves more attention.
Experts recommend that children strictly limit how often they eat decorated cakes and that people prioritize natural, fresh ingredients in their daily diet to reduce intake of highly processed foods.

近日，有网友“控诉”：自己买的“暗黑风”蛋糕，一口下去满嘴黢黑，舌头、牙齿全变色了。
有网友称，市面上绝大多数的低价深色蛋糕，并非由纯可可粉或黑巧克力制成，其深色很可能来自大量人工合成色素的添加。事实如此吗？

从业20多年的糕点师林先生介绍，制作黑色蛋糕可选用黑可可粉、墨鱼汁、植物炭黑等原料；即便需要色素调色，仅滴入几滴就足够，大量添加色素的蛋糕口感发苦，根本无法售卖。
鞍山市烘焙业商会副会长詹程程提到，很多网红蛋糕的鲜亮深色是滤镜效果，现实很难复刻，正规门店不会为追求夸张色彩过量添加色素，同时优质食用色素成本较高，大批量使用并不现实。
中国农业大学食品科学与营养工程学院教授范志红表示，我国国标对蛋糕裱花的各类合成食用色素，有严格的最大使用限量，网传视频里一次性倒入半瓶色素，大概率已经超出规范标准。色素还有每日允许摄入量ADI指标，体重越小，耐受摄入量越低，儿童需要格外注意。
偶尔吃一次深色蛋糕无需过度恐慌。范志红同时提醒，公众更要警惕蛋糕高糖高脂带来的健康负担，建议儿童严格控制这类裱花蛋糕的食用频次，日常饮食优先选择天然新鲜食材，减少高度加工食品摄入。 !Image 17: 图片
