???Can vegans eat foods with this red food dye?
I was wondering if vegans eat food containing the following food coloring ingredients:
Cochineal
Carmine
Carminic Acid
These food dyes are all derived from insects and I was wondering if that went against the beliefs of Vegans to ingest food from gods creatures, or to exploit gods creatures.
I am just curious as to peoples opinions???

No vegan or vegetarian would eat any type of product that was derived from what was once a living, breathing animal...that includes concoctions such as gelatine and food colourings.

No. They are all derived from insects. Vegans don't eat anything that came from a living thing, and to be honest I am kind of glad I don't because squashed bug doesn't sound all the appetizing to me. I never realized what was really in my food until I became vegan....
