What it is

Annatto and turmeric are natural colorants derived from plants. Annatto comes from the seeds of the achiote tree, and turmeric comes from the root of the turmeric plant. They are processed to extract their vibrant yellow and orange colors.

Why it's used

These ingredients are used to add yellow to orange color to foods. They are commonly found in dairy products like cheese and butter, baked goods, snacks, and processed meats.

Health notes

Annatto and turmeric are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as food colorants. Both have been evaluated by JECFA and EFSA. While generally considered safe, some individuals may have sensitivities. Research into the potential health benefits of turmeric, particularly its anti-inflammatory properties, is ongoing but not conclusive for specific disease prevention or treatment.
