NEW YORK - Starbucks Corp. says it will stop using a red dye in its drinks that is derived from crushed bugs.
The
Seattle-based coffee chain said in a blog post on its website Thursday
that it made the decision to reformulate its drinks after feedback from
consumers prompted a "thorough" evaluation.
The company says it
will swap out cochineal extract, which is made from the juice of a tiny
beetle, and instead use lycopene, a tomato-based extract.
