The company apparently makes coloring for ice cream.

Does not look good. Multiple reports of people trapped and other missing.

Ive seen reports of dry powder explosions. Sugar plants are violet blasts. I wonder what their base materials are.

Could be anything from boiler failure to combustible dust or other type of reactor to make the colorant or nondairy creamer.
