Cochineal has been around since the 16th century. It was what we bought as red food coloring when I was a kid in the 50s-60's. Is it better or worse than the Red 40 that is now used for baking and such? That is a synthetic product made from petroleum byproducts. Or Red 2 which is derived from coal. As I understand it, and I know you can't believe everything you read, the harm regarding human consumption of insects is from consuming the exoskeleton not from soaking the dead insect in an acidic alcohol solution to create the carminic acid which is the basis of the color. https://www.livescience.co...
