Beetlejuice: Using Bugs as Food Dye Is Legal and Common


Jan. 27, 2006 — "Beetlejuice" is more than just a movie name — foodmakers regularly use crushed female cochineal beetles to dye food, particularly certain yogurts, juices and candy, The Wall Street Journal reported today.

While shocking, it's perfectly legal, the paper reports. Foodmakers don't have to list the bug-based ingredient, because beetles are part of nature. Only man-made dyes, like FD&C Red No. 40, have to be listed.
But that may change soon. The Food and Drug Administration may recommend that companies list beetle additives as "carmine" or "cochineal."

????: South Beach Diet Forums http://www.southbeachdietbulletinboard.com/kitchen/352-some-things-just-gross-geez.html
Why? Using beetles in food proves problematic for vegetarians, people who keep kosher and for those with certain food allergies.

Oh, there you are! :Hug1:

Yea, gag huh? I think they should have to call things what they are so they can't get away with this crap---they'd go broke if people could really understand what was in their products!
