One of the most successful coffee chains in the U.S. is recalling an ingredient in some of its drinks that is really not harmful, it’s just not right.That’s what a lot of people said when they found out that Starbucks (NYSE:SBUX) uses a cochineal extract made from the juice of crush up beetles that dyes some of their flavored drinks.The dye itself is used in many food and cosmetic products and is an approved ingredient for consumption. But, a South Carolina woman started a petition to inform other customers that the dye was not vegan-friendly.Starbucks will be recalling the dye and reformulating their drinks to use another staining method made from tomato extract.
