Re: Do You Know What is in Your Candy?
There's also the red dye in most drinks like Kool-Aid and Hawaiian Punch. It's apparently derived from the shells of a certain type of beetle.

The cochineal is a scale insect in the suborder Sternorrhyncha, from which the crimson-coloured dye carmine is derived. A primarily sessile parasite native to tropical and subtropical South America and Mexico, this insect lives on cacti in the genus Opuntia, feeding on plant moisture and nutrients.

The insect produces carminic acid that deters predation by other insects. Carminic acid, typically 17–24% of dried insects' weight, can be extracted from the body and eggs then mixed with aluminum or calcium salts to make carmine dye (also known as cochineal). Carmine is today primarily used as a food colouring and for cosmetics, especially as a lipstick colouring.

Thank you for your information

I have seen carmine listed in products.

I believe it is in cosmetics if I'm not mistaken.

You're welcome! I remembered reading about it a few days ago. My food purposely contains bug shells... yum.

Hey, it's still natural
The beetles and Beavers arse sack should be the least of your worries compared to the synthetic and petroleum byproducts they pump into stuff these days.
