According to the FDA, cochineal extract and carmine, the lake form of the additive, have been used since the late 1800s in such foods as pork sausages, ice cream, strawberry-flavored milk, imitation crab and lobster, maraschino cherries, Port wine cheeses, lumpfish eggs and colored spirits like Campari[R]. Cochineal extract is very expensive and it takes about 70,000 of the one-eighth-inch-long insects to create a pound of powder. |
