Steurich, F., & Feyerabend, R. 2001 [Allergy due to Campari, Carmine, and Cochenille. Dyes in foodstuffs, drugs, and cosmetics.] Campari-/Karmin-/Cochenille-Allergie: Farbstoffe in Lebensmitteln, Medikamenten und Kosmetika.. Allergologie 24(2): 66-72.

Notes: A case of allergy to Campari is reported. Campari is coloured with Carmine, a natural dye (E 120). Furthermore, Cochineal Red A (E 124), a synthetic dye of the same colour, and Indigo-Carmine (E 132), another artificial dye, exist. Allergies are known especially to Carmine with severe clinical impact, often as an occupational disease. Sensitisation takes place by oral intake, by inhalation or via the skin. Allergic alveolitis due to Carmine is also described. Cochineal Red A (E 124) and Indigo-Carmine (E 132) also cause allergies.
