Annatto Coloring - is this a hidden form of Gluten? I saw on someones page that it was - does anyone know for sure? i didn't think that it was, but need to know for sure, thanks in advance.

Annatto coloring shouldn't be a problem.

Per a google search:

Annatto is a gluten-free ingredient.

Wikipedia link



Some of the older texts/sources do say it is not gluten-free, but this is untrue.

Annato is gluten-free, dairy-free and suitable for a vegan diet. It comes from a non-grain plant source.

if you have questions about ingredients, you really should read Dr. Greens book, the hidden epidemic (this isn't an add, i just found it very helpful, it was like my bible at first, it cleared up a ton of the celiac myths!) and if i'm not mistaken thats where i learned that anatto was ok!

I didn't think Annatto Coloring had gluten - I found a site that had a ton of things that did not have gluten but are listed as having it ... I just wanted to make sure.

Thanks for the book suggestion. I am reading gluten for dummies right now, it's a good book too!
