Cochineal is used as a food dye, as well as for fabric. It gives pink
grapefruit juice its commercially-desired pink tint, and is behind the
policy of many a church injunction against red fruit punches at receptions.
I've noticed a couple of products in the last few years that have changed
to using the word "kermes" instead - guess they realized that lots of folks
know what cochineal really is. A dye expert can tell you about the
differences between cochineal and kermes (different species of bugs, both
of which yield a red pigment).
