What it is
Carmine is a vibrant red pigment derived from cochineal insects (Dactylopius coccus). The insects are dried, crushed, and then processed to extract the carminic acid, which gives carmine its characteristic color.
Why it's used
Carmine is used as a natural red food coloring. It is valued for its stability and bright hue, making it suitable for a variety of products including beverages, baked goods, dairy products, and processed meats.
Health notes
In the US, carmine is approved by the FDA as a color additive. It is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used as intended. Some individuals have reported allergic reactions to carmine, though these are considered rare. Regulatory bodies like the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have also evaluated carmine, and it is permitted for use in the EU.
Allergen info
Carmine is derived from insects and is not one of the nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
