About COOKIE ICING, RED
Favorite Day Red Cookie Icing is a decorating icing from Target's Favorite Day brand, providing bright red icing in a ready-to-use pouch or bottle format for holiday and themed cookie decorating. The formula is identical in structure to other Favorite Day cookie icings: sugar, water, corn syrup, acacia gum, propylene glycol alginate, xanthan gum, color concentrate, potassium sorbate, natural and artificial flavor, and citric acid. The red color is produced by a concentrated mixture of water, propylene glycol, Red 40, Red 3, and Yellow 5 — Red 40 provides the primary red hue, Red 3 deepens and brightens it, and Yellow 5 adds a trace warm undertone. This three-dye combination achieves a vivid, saturated red without the use of carmine (cochineal extract), making it a plant-and-synthetic-dye-based red icing.
At 314 calories per 100 grams with 82.86g of carbohydrates and no fat, protein, or fiber, this icing matches the nutritional profile of all other Favorite Day/Wondershop cookie icings of this formulation. A 35-gram serving provides approximately 110 calories.
Allergens: none declared. Free from dairy, wheat, eggs, soy, and nuts. Red 40 (Allura Red AC) and Red 3 (Erythrosine) are both FDA-approved certified food dyes with long histories of use in food products. This red icing is most commonly used for Christmas cookie decorating (candy canes, ornaments, ribbons), Valentine's Day themes, and general red-themed celebration baked goods.
