What it is
Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reactions. They are often derived from microorganisms like bacteria or fungi, or from plant and animal sources. Annatto is a natural food coloring made from the seeds of the achiote tree, native to tropical regions of the Americas.
Why it's used
Enzymes are used in food processing to improve texture, flavor, and shelf life. Annatto provides a yellow to orange color. They are commonly found together in products like cheese, baked goods, and processed meats.
Health notes
Enzymes used in food production are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Annatto is also considered GRAS by the FDA. Both are widely consumed with no known adverse health effects at typical intake levels. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many food enzymes and colorings, generally affirming their safety.
Allergen info
Enzymes can be derived from various sources, including milk, soy, or wheat, which are major allergens. Annatto itself is not derived from any of the 9 major allergens. Consumers with specific allergies should check product labels for source information.
