What it is

Apocarotenal is a synthetic yellow-orange colorant. It is chemically related to carotenoids, which are naturally found in plants and give them their vibrant colors. It is produced through chemical synthesis.

Why it's used

Apocarotenal is used to add or restore yellow to orange color in foods. It is often found in baked goods like cakes, cookies, and pastries, as well as in some dairy products and beverages.

Health notes

In the U.S., apocarotenal is approved by the FDA as a color additive. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated apocarotenal and established specifications for its purity. At the very low levels used in food, it is not expected to pose a health risk for most people.

Allergen info

Apocarotenal is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens and does not contain gluten.
