A member asked:
Is it safe to eat mac n cheese with annatto extract when pregnant? it's used as a coloring. i've eaten it several times and always felt a bit sick aft

Annatto extract: Annatto extract is a natural food coloring used in many south american countries. It appears to be a safe food coloring. Feeling sick is probably more related to the high fat content in the mac n cheese, than the food coloring.
