What it is

Annatto is a natural food coloring derived from the seeds of the achiote tree, native to tropical regions of the Americas. The seeds are ground to produce a yellow to orange-red powder or paste, or extracted into oil.

Why it's used

Annatto is primarily used to impart a yellow to deep orange color to foods, often mimicking the color of egg yolks or butter. It is commonly found in cheeses, butter, baked goods, snacks, and processed meats.

Health notes

Annatto is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food coloring. It is not known to cause adverse health effects at typical consumption levels. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated annatto, and it is permitted for use in many countries.

Allergen info

Annatto is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
