Chemical combination

Hello

Thanks for the query

I have often seen pouches change in colour especially when one has consumed food with colouring agent. You dont need to worry about it. Convatec pouches are notorious when it comes to change in colour. I recommend you to use another brand of pouch and see.

I hope i was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
