Why do butchers have yellow breadcrumbs on their meat?

2 years ago by makingStuffForFun to c/asklemmy

I've noticed and I've never really understood why that when you buy any meat that is crumbed from a butcher in Australia, it is always or nearly always yellow in colour.

Why do they do this and where does the yellow colour come from?

I'm unsure why but It used to be the same here in New Zealand, most butchers seem to have transitioned to panko breadcrumbs now.

The only place i've seen this in the last few years at the cheaper butcher chains like 'The Mad Butcher' and the one in my link below.

I think OP is talking about this.

Edit.

This image from 'The Mad Butcher' includes the breading ingredients.

That’s good find. That packaging lists “colour” as ingredient, so they could be normal breadcrumbs with coloring added.
