What it is
Annatto extract is a natural food coloring derived from the seeds of the achiote tree, native to tropical regions of the Americas. The seeds are ground and then extracted using oil or water to produce a yellow to deep orange colorant.
Why it's used
Annatto extract is primarily used to impart a yellow to reddish-orange color to foods. It is commonly found in dairy products like cheese, butter, and ice cream, as well as in baked goods, snacks, and processed meats.
Health notes
Annatto extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food coloring. It is not associated with significant health concerns at typical consumption levels. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated annatto extract. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from its use as a food additive.
Allergen info
Annatto extract is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
