Oven Roasted Turkey Breast Caramel Color Added Turkey Breast

Oven roasted turkey breast is a cooked meat product made from the breast of a turkey. It is typically seasoned and then roasted or baked. Caramel color is added to give it a more appealing brown hue.

Manufacturers add caramel color to turkey breast to provide a uniform, attractive brown color. It is often found in deli meats, pre-packaged sandwiches, and salad kits.

Caramel color is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated caramel colors. While generally considered safe, some concerns have been raised about certain compounds that can form during the production of some types of caramel color, though these are typically found at very low levels in finished products.
