Artificial Food Coloring=Crushed Bugs
Yes, if you see food labels that read "artificial coloring" and "color added" that means most likely you'll beeating bugs along with other ingredients. The FDA does not require companies to be more specific about their food coloring. Therefore, companies choose not to label "crushed beetles for red dye", a label that might discourage consumers from buying their products.
Dannon admits to using cochineal beetles as a dye to some of its yogurt products.
In 2009, Michael Jacobson has attempted to pressure the FDA to require more specific labeling for the sake of those who might have allergies.
