Canthaxanthin is a carotenoid pigment that is orange. Naturally found in a variety of foods, it can also be artificially synthesized. It is often used as an animal feed additive to make the color of egg yolk and poultry more vivid. It is mainly used as an orange colorant when used for food addition, but it is rarely used. Some studies have shown that high intake of canthaxanthin may cause it to accumulate in the retina, but the EU Food Safety Authority's 2010 assessment showed that the use of canthaxanthin is generally safe.
