@salt For example Venezuela, the home of masarepa, has made vitamin A fortification compulsory in flours, sugar etc since 1993. It is not mentioned on the wrapping. Not the only country doing it. If you search for maize fortification vitamin A you will find lots of articles.
The yellow in wheat pasta is also added to give an impression it is egg pasta. There are durum wheat pasta products more yellow than others.

Good to know, we must avoid Venezuelan masa harina. Although I've never actually seen it, I've only see Venezuelan masa but that should certainly be avoided.
I've never seen pasta with food die, maybe that's an American thing?

@daniil If you worry about carotenoids in buckwheat/oats etc.. you can't eat anything. Bro relax.. Buckwheat will not give you any carotenoids issues but it can give you oxalate or copper issues. Brown rice should be avoided for sure organic or not there is a lot of arsenic. Even many white rice have arsenic. Because I was eating insane amount of rice last 10 years during my bodybuilding days. Now I try to limit rice as much as possible and if I eat rice it's only white basmati rice cooked like pasta. So in a lot of water and after the rice is done I pour the water to the sink. That water has like 50% of the arsenic that was in the rice.. I also try to avoid buckwheat due to somewhat high copper content but I eat oats and corn pasta or corn polenta daily + now I am trying to eat some lentils for prebiotic fiber.. Don't worry about carotenoids in grains bro that's crazy..
Buckwheat contains 250+ mcg of carotenoids per 100 g. For comparison (as I found out today), skimmed milk contains only 30 mcg of retinol per hundred grams in combination with casein (and 2 times more in regular shop milk). Personally, I'd rather drink a few glasses of milk than eat a plate of buckwheat. Milk is a good source of protein and calcium, but there is nothing special in buckwheat. Fiber and carbohydrates. Plus a ton of oxalates and phytic acid.
Hi Daniil! Could you please provide a source for the data on buckwheat as I've not been able to find any specifying such high numbers? Many of sources, Russian ones included, list buckwheat as having zero beta-carotene:

Hi Viktor. It does not contain beta-carotene, but contains 264 mcg of lutein according to this database:

Lutein is not a provitamin A carotenoid. Does it also cause you issues?
