FACTCHECK: What Do Color Codes On Toothpaste Mean?

519

ANALYSIS: Misleading

FACT: A fake news about Toothpaste ingredients on the basis of coloured square is being circulated, The post claims that a green mark means the toothpaste is all natural, a blue mark means it contains natural ingredients and medicine, a red mark means it contains natural ingredients and chemical ingredients, and a black mark means it contains all chemical ingredients. Upon reasearch we found information about the coloured square mark on the tube of toothpaste. According to multiple health&media websites the reason for the marks has to do with how toothpaste tubes are made. The marks help light sensors detect the end of the tube, so that the machines used to prepare the tubes knows where to cut or seal them. Printed marks that can be read by light beam sensors and typically identify where product packaging is to be cut or folded as connected units stream through machinery at high speed. Absolutely nothing to do with ingredients.
