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?

    Usually breading meat starts with dipping the meat into an egg wash before you dip it in the bread crumbs, so the yellow probably comes from egg yolk.

      I do appreciate the answer but this is like a really bright yellow, and it permeates all of the bread, and you could not have enough egg to create this much yellow.
