Reply With QuoteApplegate is the one meat brand I do buy, aside from meat at the butcher counter or from a farmer. Seems like they do the right stuff. Would love to know if others know any more about them...

I can usually get pretty good locally made cheese for cheap around here but they add annatto to their cheddar. Just wondering if its something to be avoided?
also I purchased a few boxes of applegate farms chicken and sage breakfast sausage on sale the other day. this stuff: Products - Breakfast Sausage - Gluten Free Natural Chicken and Sage Breakfast Sausage - Applegate
havent tried it yet and was curious about others opinions on it.

I don't think there is anything wrong with annatto. I'm not sure how it's processed before it's added to cheeses, but annatto itself is just a seed. I've used it in cooking a few times.

Nope... to use annatto seed as a dye all you have to do is steep it in a liquid, such as a fat for a few minutes.
BOOM!
Color.
You can actually buy just annatto seed yourself and do this very easily.

Yeah, anatto is just a bright orange seed. My grandma cooks traditional Puerto Rican dishes using anatto oil -- basically putting the seeds in some olive oil and letting it sit for a few hours. The oil turns BRIGHT orange from the natural dyes in the anatto seeds.
No chemical process necessary!

Why dye cheese? Eat real cheese instead
Why I don't worry about cholesterol:
Lyon Diet Heart Trial
Get With The Guidelines admission data
Sydney Diet Heart Study revisited
INTERHEART Study
Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease with a Mediterranean Diet
The problem with modern medicine is that doctors don't view the prescription of drugs as a failure to keep you healthy

...what makes yellow or orange cheese un-real? Have you never eaten a cheddar that was orange?
Why is cheese yellow or orange when milk is white?
