About Annatto
Annatto is a natural colorant derived from the seeds of the achiote tree commonly used in pet foods to impart yellow-to-orange hues, and it provides negligible nutritional value for dogs and cats aside from trace carotenoid compounds that may have limited antioxidant activity. It is often used as a natural alternative to artificial dyes and is generally regarded as safe, though rare allergic reactions or mild gastrointestinal upset can occur in sensitive animals and manufacturers use it primarily for cosmetic rather than nutritional purposes.
