I looked up recently about yolk colour*, and it is based on what chickens eat. But there is nothing stopping commercial operations feeding chickens something to make their yolk more orange.

*The reason I looked it up was because these commercial eggs were way more orange than the pale yellow I'd seen before.

Would you ever mix up the taste of home grown tomatoes with artificially ripened commercial ones? I'm guessing it'd be equally obvious if they artificially flavoured it.
