This component became the hero of the author of the Instagram account of the @Profiltactic account. We see the exact process of its creation on it. And everything starts with “worms”, specifically from cactus June (the name comes from the feeding place). They are famous for the fact that their armor after drying and crushing takes on a dark red color.
“Are you aware that you eat worms with this cake?”
This property was already known in ancient times in the areas of present Mexico, where carmin was colored not only by food, but also fabrics. The food industry (and not only) began to use it on a larger scale in the 19th century. Currently, we can come across Karmin by browsing the compositions of many products, including sweets and drinks.
Despite the widespread use, these names: E120, carmine, carmine or koszenila, are not known to everyone. And even if, not everyone knows how this ingredient is created. – Are you aware that you eat worms with this cake? the author asked in the recording. “Before you put the product in the basket, read its composition,” she advised.
“It’s a natural dye. Not everyone will come from a beautiful flower.” Is it safe?
Indeed, it is worth reading. Especially if we are allergic to this type of ingredients or if we have something against their use in terms of moral terms. It is worth remembering, however, that carmine is a natural dye. This is noted by users who commented in the comments. “Personally I avoid all dyes in food, but taking logic, it is probably the one of the worms than the synthetic one Made in the laboratory ” – we read.
Artificial dyes no. Natural also not. What’s wrong with insects that are present in many cuisines of the world? It’s a natural dye. Not everyone will come from a beautiful flower. However, this is definitely a better choice than artificial. I really wonder what is wrong with consuming food with this dye? Because the insects are ‘hideous’?
another Internet user asked.
It is worth referring to the recommendations both European Food Safety Office (EFSA) and the American Food and Drug Agency (FDA). Both of these institutions emphasize that carmin in certain quantities is safe to consume (unless we are allergic to him). Manufacturers who use this ingredient are obliged to closely comply with the recommended safe standards and for public information on this topic on the packaging of the products. What is your attitude towards such ingredients? You avoid, or maybe you think it’s a better choice than artificially produced? We encourage you to participate in the poll and to comment.
