HOW COCHINEAL RED A WORKS:
Here’s how it works:
The cochineal insect is a type of parasitic bug that latches onto prickly pear cacti (its host) in order to extract the sap.
It’s then harvested from these cacti and dried out in the sun.
The cochineal itself is about the size of a lentil bean, but when hundreds of them are ground down to a powder, and then subsequently mixed with water, they release a beautiful and intense scarlet red dye, Cochineal Red A.

HISTORY OF COCHINEAL RED A:
Cochineal Red A also known by its European food additive code E124 was first synthesized in the mid-20th century.
Cochineal Red A was discovered as an alternative to the natural red colour which does not provide good stability and consistency to products and changes their colours.
At that time manufacturers used Cochineal Red A in candies, soft drinks, and confections.
But later in the 1970s because of Cochineal Red A's ability to provide vibrant and stable colours to products manufacturers started its use in a range of food products as well as some non-food products like cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
Today Cochineal Red A is used in a wide range of products globally.
