I wonder if you are referring to Knorr chicken powder as sold in China or a type of chicken powder labelled as Chinese chicken powder for the North American market. They may not be the same. Are you able to get a picture of the container, including hopefully the ingredients list? If so, I would happily translate for you (if it's in Chinese).

 

The Knorr chicken powder sold in China (made in Hong Kong) contains: (in order listed) salt, Maltodextrin, Flavour Enhancers, (E621, E635, E637), Cornstarch, Chicken Meat, Sugar, Flavourings (containing milk and eggs), Chicken fat, Vegetable Oil, Yeast Extract, Soy sauce powder (contains wheat and soy bean), Spice. 

 

So, no specific colouring, but things that may colour it.

 

They add that it is made on machinery also used to handle crustaceans, barley, fish, sesame and molluscs.

 

I'll add  that it's not popular in China, most people, including me, going for this.

It has no colouring, but I don't know about international availability. LKK is even less popular here.

 

 

This is what is available at my local Asian market ( US )

What makes me question is at the end of the ingredient list it says Caramel color. That is a red flag, or in this case, yellow flag.
