What it is

Organic turmeric extract is a natural colorant derived from the turmeric root, a plant native to South Asia. The active compound, curcumin, is extracted using organic solvents and then purified. It provides a vibrant yellow to orange hue.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic turmeric extract primarily as a natural yellow or orange colorant in a variety of foods. It is commonly found in snacks, confectionery, baked goods, and dairy products, offering a visually appealing color without artificial ingredients.

Health notes

Organic turmeric extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food coloring. Curcumin, the main component, has been studied for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, though research is ongoing. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated turmeric and curcumin, but specific numerical limits are not always set. Evidence on health benefits at typical dietary intake levels is still developing.

Allergen info

Turmeric is not one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
