Help Annatto Food Color ?

[Rebecca47]

Does anyone know what is wrong with Annatto food color in foods or cheese my doctor says stay away from it.

Sorry if I have asked this before I just can't find it on any boards. She also say's stay away from carmel and carmel coloring. I will see her tomorrow and ask again, but maybe you have thoughts I could ask her?

Caramel color should not be a problem, but I know nothing about the food color.

Annatto is perfectly safe. It's on some outdated lists.

annatto can cause "D", but not because of gluten.

annatto is one of those celiac urban legends

caramel coloring is almost always (if not always) gluten free in America. If it is derived from wheat, then, because of the new FDA labeling laws, they would be required to identify it. Coke and products like that are safe. To be on the safe side, you could always call and double check for ones that you don't know are safe.

if you haven't seen these lists yet, check them out: https://www.celiac.com/st_main.html?p_catid=12

they are extremely helpful!
