The conditions for the use of colours in foodstuffs are harmonised throughout the European Union based on the provision set by Council directive 94/36/EC. Cochineal red is a food additive (E120) and belongs to the group of colours which may be used in a selection of foods specified in the legislation. Yogurts and milkshakes do not belong to them.
