Starbuck’s Pink Strawberries & Creme Frappuccino is chock full o’ bugs.

If not for strict Vegans we’d all be cruising into summer, admiring the gorgeous pink of the Pink Strawberries & Creme Frappuccino without a second thought. When the pink coloration was labeled ‘natural flavoring’ or cochineal extract – no one was the wiser. Nor did we suspect that the coloring – used widely, was the skin and body of Peruvian bugs. Starbuck’s has confirmed the use of the ingredient, but no plans have been announced to change the name of the beverage – though if you have a suggestion, I’m certain they’re all ears, I know I am.
