Natural Cochineal Red (Pink) Powder

This pink powder is made with a cochineal red lake. It is a water-soluble formulation that gives foods a pink shade.

The colorant has relatively good heat and light stability. Its final shade still depends on the food formulation, pH, and protein content. It is insect-derived and unsuitable for vegetarian products.
