The invention provides an emulsion composition obtained by mixing an oil phase containing a carotenoid having a melting point of 100°C or more as detected when it is contained in an oil； and an aqueous phase containing a polyglycerol fatty acid ester and a nonionic emulsifier different from the polyglycerol fatty acid ester, wherein a weight ratio (A)/(B) of an amount (A) of the polyglycerol fatty acid ester to an amount (B) of the nonionic emulsifier different from the polyglycerol fatty acid ester is in the range of 2.5 to 10, and a particle diameter of dispersed particles that contain the carotenoid is 200 nm or less.
