Oleoresin Paprika is produced by the extraction of lipids and pigments from the pods of sweet red pepper, Capsicum oleoresin??

Should be no problem at all (it's also likely an ingredient used in very small quantities).

Paprika Oleoresin is composed of oil soluble (lipids) pigments extracted from red chillies (Capsicum). It is named at the end of the ingredients list for Alexia Sweet Potato where it says it used as a coloring agent.
Unlike herbal tea where the flavor and color can be extracted just using hot water, Paprika Oleoresin cannot be extracted in water. It has to be extracted using another agent such carbon dioxide and ethanol which evaporates easily leaving natural Paprika Oleoresin behind.
It is used in tiny amounts as coloring agent just like turmeric. It isn't likely to be a trigger.
