Despite the popular misconception, Allura Red AC (Red #40) is not derived from the cochineal insect. There is a carmine dye made from the cochineal insect. In the United States, carmine is approved as dye for foodstuffs. Carmine is not required by the FDA to be explicitly named in all ingredient lists, and may sometimes be represented under "natural coloring" or "added coloring." The insect is native to tropical and subtropical South America and Mexico.
