In brief: Yes
There are no known risks to the pregnancy for ingestion of annato extract.

In brief: Likely OK
Not enough is known about this material to find it totally safe for use in pregnancy if used as a medicinal agent.
In commonly available foods, with minor exposure it is likely not a problem. I would avoid future exposure to be on the safe side.
