Well, here in America food producers make red food coloring out of little bugs.
bugs???
I have never heard of that one.
“Well, here in America food producers make red food coloring out of little bugs.”
It’s called carmine and is listed on many foods as such. It’s often found in yogurt, for example, but can be found in other products as well. Food colorings are usually listed at the end of the ingredients list.
Sometimes it’s just listed as a *natural* coloring because it has a *natural* source.
It can be highly allergenic, as in my daughter, who has a severe hives reaction to it.
Others would want to avoid it if they eat kosher or for other religious reasons.
Personally, I don’t want to eat bug extract, thank you.
If you really want your hair to curl, go to the FDA website and search for *food dyes*.
