At least they use natural ingredients to make it yellow and not red #5.
Comment on I don't know the reason why.
rainwall@piefed.social 5 days agoSimiliar reason cheddar is orange. Cheesemakere used to die it to cover inconsistences in quality or rot.
At this point, cheddar is almost perfectly safe, but people expect it to be orange, so its orange.

It was less about hiding rot, and more about making it appear to have a higher fat content.

What is it’s natural color? I know there is a white cheddar. Is that just undyed cheddar or is it a different variety?

Pale yellow. To make it orange cheddar they just add annatto for coloring.
