Annatto, a natural dye derived from achiote tree seeds, is often added to butter to enhance its color. This dye, known as bixin, can vary in hue from yellow to reddish-orange, providing a visually appealing look to the butter. Annatto is generally considered safe and does not affect the flavor of the butter.

Both packet milk (pasteurized) and UHT (Ultra-High Temperature) treated milk in Tetra Paks offer similar benefits, as both processes aim to kill harmful bacteria while preserving most of the milk's nutrients. However, UHT milk may experience slight reductions in certain heat-sensitive vitamins, like vitamin B12 and thiamine. For those prioritizing nutrient retention and a natural flavor, pasteurized packet milk might be preferable.
