What it is

Paprika is a spice made from ground dried peppers, typically mild varieties of *Capsicum annuum*. Beta carotene is a pigment found in plants, like carrots and sweet potatoes, and is also a form of vitamin A. When used together in food, they often provide a vibrant orange-red color.

Why it's used

These ingredients are primarily used to add color to foods, giving them an appealing orange or red hue. They are commonly found in cheese products, dips, snacks, and pickled items to enhance visual appeal.

Health notes

Paprika and beta carotene are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Beta carotene is a precursor to vitamin A, which is essential for vision, immune function, and skin health. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated these substances. At typical dietary levels, they are not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Paprika is derived from peppers, and beta carotene is typically derived from plant sources.
