red food colouring

[sheilapl]

is it me or is more finding that when you buy Red food colouring nowadays it turns out Orange. I wanted to get pink icing one day and went to both Co.op and Tesco's and both bottles with RED written on it turns out orange, what can I do

I have had loads of red foodcolouring used in our house in all kinds of baking and none has gone orange on us...we have had everything from pale pink to barbie pink for icing and either use the supercook or the dr okter (sp) Both are good for everyday baking with the kids, but for something special buy the pastes and glitters ......
