Because there is no blue colored food in the nature. Blue color can easily determined in the case of contamination inside of the product/process.
Hi Honour; Blueberry is not actually blue. As you can see from the attached picture blueberry has navy blue color around of it and when you mash it,it becames purple !
Thank you very much for your information @johnfound
as a different point of view, maybe blue is one of the few colors that even color blind people (especially the green-red type ones) can discriminate from the other colors in every light conditions. I know from myself As it is stated earlier, bluish colors are not common for foods. Considering almost 10 percent of the population is color blind, this point might be important.
Dear Gökhan…very good information i did not think in that way…
There is still no specific legislation on the use of Blue-colored gloves in the food industry, but for a Good Production rule, blue-colored gloves are preferred because Blue is the least present in food. Some factories have spectrograms for detecting such color objects on the production lines.
