Beta carotene (160a)

Beta carotene is a much safer natural yellow colour. It is widely used in Europe but our food authority FSANZ states that it is too difficult & too expensive to use! I find that the easiest way to remember this is that a) stands for affable & b) stands for BAD!!!
Just checked our ACTIVA mango yogurts & they contain no numbers but instead the name 'annatto extracts' are used. Just shows us how alert we need to  be!
