About Canthaxanthin
Canthaxanthin is a natural pigment commonly used as a food dye to add a vibrant reddish-orange color to meat, poultry, salmon, trout, and egg yolks. It enhances the appearance of these food items and provides a consistent and visually appealing color.
Canthaxanthin is safe and approved by regulatory authorities but should be used in recommended amounts to avoid unnatural or undesirable colors. Its addition enhances the visual appeal of various food products.
