Starbucks is no longer using carmine to add a red color to it’s Very Strawberry Frappuccino in it’s stead they are now adding white grape juice concentrate.
July 13, 2018 2:32 pm at 2:32 pm #1557635👑RebYidd23ParticipantWhite?

I dont know if you’re who you say you are, and I dont know if you’re serious, but both carmine and grape juice are kashrus problems.July 15, 2018 6:40 pm at 6:40 pm #1558084yehudayonaParticipantThere are natural red food colors that are not kosher sensitive, namely beet juice and black carrot color (which despite its name is red).
July 15, 2018 6:41 pm at 6:41 pm #1558116Midwest2Participantcheck at the grocer’s. It’s reddish gold.
July 15, 2018 6:41 pm at 6:41 pm #1558130Amil ZolaParticipantCarmine is a color, perhaps you mean carminic acid that is extracted from cochineal insects to produce the color carmine?
July 15, 2018 7:51 pm at 7:51 pm #1558179wijnstokkenParticipantExactly. I meant E120 – Carmine Dye from Cochineal Beetles
In Tesco (UK) they used to carry a very nice red grapefruit juice and sadly for those who keep kosher it contained that for its soft reddish hue.

As for the Starbucks Frappuccinos (and I quote from the cRc website which has been updated) …
Any Bottles or cans bearing a “KD” or “Ches K” are accepted (Cholov Stam)
NOTE: Strawberry & Cream Frappuccino is NOT kosher!
The Very Strawberry Frappuccino isnt kosher either. The Grape Juice Conc doesn’t make it any better.
