Food colouring

[Ann Chovie]

Hi
Sorry if this had been done before but..

Is red food colouring Vegan friendly these days?

I know about the cochineal thing but my understanding was that this is rarely used nowadays? Are the colourings tested on animals still? According to Google research its a yes

If so what do you substitute red colouring with please ?

I buy red food colour that is made from beetroot. If I rightly remember, Sainsbury's and Waitrose stock the product.

Lakeland have the most fabulous choice of stuff for baking. I usually go to either the Reading or Windsor branch.
