Bold textTHE FACT THAT BEETLES ARE USED AS FOOD COLORING IS NASTYBold text Can we please make a list of foods in which carmine food dye can be found? I know it's in "Good and Plenty" yuck >:P

It's not a beetle; it's a scale insect. The classification difference between beetles and scale insects is on the "Order" level, the level where we are classified as primates and not rodents. A small point perhaps. Otherwise, I do know it's present in Dole Ruby Red Grapefruit Juice. Rkitko 10:58, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bugs for looks
