dye-free

No artificial coloring

Dye-free describes products made without artificial colorings, typically food, medicine, or cosmetics: dye-free children's vitamins, dye-free laundry detergent.

The label appeals to those avoiding synthetic additives for health reasons or sensitivities.

Like similar compounds (sugar-free, gluten-free), it signals the absence of something consumers increasingly want to avoid.
