What it is and why it counts
Carmine is a red colour made from cochineal insects.
Cosmetic additives
NOVA calls these additives "cosmetic": they change how a product looks, feels or tastes rather than keeping it safe to eat. Their presence is one of the two defining signs of an ultra-processed food.
