This is my first posting on the celiac e-mail and have appreciated so much
receiving all the wonderful information. I am a 73 year old celiac,
diagnosed 37 years ago in Seattle after three or more miserable years. I
have a quick question about what is consideredwrong about using annetto,
which is the yellow color used in many products, ice cream, etc. Annatto
is a powder made from achiote seed, according to a dietetic handbook, made
into a commercial paste for coloring. Is this mixed with some sort of
alcohol which puts it on the forbidden list? I have done so well these
years without knowing all the fine details which we hear of now. Is
anyone else out there a veteran as I am? Just curious. BPM
