Meet the insect you probably didn't know you're eating: the cochineal parasite. This insect is used for its red dye, carmine, in many popular foods. Here are 7 foods that contain the cochineal parasite for its color:
- Starbucks: Raspberry Swirl Cake, Birthday Cake Pop, Mini Donut, and Red Velvet Whoopie Pie
- Kellogg’s: Fruit Loops cereal and Fruit Snacks
- Tropicana products
- Betty Crocker: Red Velvet Cake Mix
- Nestlé: Nesquik Chocolate Cookie Sandwich (Strawberry) and Wonka Nerds
- Skittles
- Dannon yogurt: Strawberry, Blueberry, and Raspberry flavors
Side note: It takes about 40,000 of these insects to produce 1 pound of carmine dye. Incredible!
