What is Cochineal Powder?

Cochineal powder is the most important of the insect dyes. The females of Dactylopius coccus colonize the prickly pear (nopal) cactus native to Mexico, Central and South America and the Canary Islands. Peru is currently the primary export country, shipping out over 4000 metric tons annually. This dye is a common additive to food, drugs and cosmetics. Cochineal powder has excellent light and washfastness and produces a powerful range of fuchsias, reds and purples. Although expensive, cochineal powder food grade has a high concentration of carminic acid and only small amounts are needed.

Basic Information:

Cochineal Powder Benefits:

Cochineal powder and carmine as well as aluminum and calcium–aluminum lake of carminic acid obtained from cochineal extract are a food additive within the listing of color additives exempt from certification.

Adverse reactions to cochineal colors after occupational exposure, dermal contact, or consumption of colored food and drinks have been the subject of case reports. The reported effects were the consequence of allergic reactions, and the involvement of an immunologically mediated mechanism has been demonstrated. The nature of the adverse reactions, e.g. urticaria, rhinitis, diarrhea, and anaphylaxis, provides clear evidence that systemic reactions can follow exposure of a sensitized individual to cochineal powder food grade colors. Some of the adverse reactions were severe and required emergency treatment. The weight of evidence suggests that proteins in the food colors are the allergenic species; however, the structures of the proteins and the role of protein-bound carminic acid in the allergic reaction are unknown.

The European Food Safety Authority Panel noted that cases of severe allergic reactions, occurring after the consumption of cochineal powder food grade-containing foodstuffs, have been reported, and indicated that the information provided to alert individuals allergic to these colours is not sufficiently acted upon. The European Food Safety Authority Panel considered that, since no threshold dose can be established for allergic reactions, it is advisable that exposure to the eliciting allergens, such as proteinaceous compounds, is avoided as much as possible. Therefore, the European Food Safety Authority Panel considered that it may be advisable to reduce the presence of these allergens as much as possible by introducing appropriate purification steps to the manufacturing process.
