This is pure orange carophyll can be used on food / eggfood and even water, will not burn the feathers, will give a nice shiny smooth finish on it, made in U.K not a chinese poison. Thus, any interruption in the addition of carophyll is not likely to affect the plumage color adversely unless, of course, it is just before or during molting when carophyll should always be supplied.
