Carmine
Also known as cochineal, natural red 4
A red colour made from crushed cochineal insects — natural, but an allergen and not vegan.
What it is
A crimson pigment extracted from cochineal insects, used to colour yoghurts, drinks and sweets.
Health concern
Can trigger allergic reactions including rare anaphylaxis in sensitive people. It is not vegetarian or vegan.
The verdict
