Soybean Oil And Olive Pomace Oil With Annatto

This ingredient is a blend of soybean oil and olive pomace oil, with annatto added for color. Soybean oil is extracted from soybeans, while olive pomace oil is derived from the pulp left after olives are pressed for regular olive oil. Annatto is a natural food coloring derived from the seeds of the achiote tree.

This blend is primarily used to add a yellowish-orange color to foods. It functions as a coloring agent and contributes to the oil base in products like dressings, marinades, and some processed foods.

Soybean oil is a common cooking oil. Olive pomace oil is also used in food products. Annatto is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food coloring. Regulatory bodies like the FDA and EFSA have evaluated food colorings. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from annatto at typical consumption levels.
