Do Annies products contain artificial coloring?
No, none of the Annie’s products contain artificial coloring. The coloring used for our products with orange cheese is called Annatto. Annatto is a natural plant extract, which has been popular in tropical American cultures for generations. The annatto tree grows 20 or 30 feet in height and when its seeds are stirred in water, they produce orange annatto dye, also called achiote, used to color foods such as cheese, butter, and mustard. Many cultures use achiote oils and pastes, with their mild flavor and intense color, on meat, fish, and rice.
