Red Food Coloring Is Made of What Now?!

Red Food Coloring Is Made of What Now?!

Answer: Insects (female, typically).

Don’t ask how (because I couldn’t fucking tell ya) but I stumbled upon this article written by Live Science. It’s about Starbucks admitting they will discontinue the use of red food dye made from bugs. If you don’t believe me, go check it out yourself.

Apparently, these dyes cause allergic reactions within a lot of people. It’s weird because never in my life have I given a shit about the color of my food. The older I get and the more I read and chase the truth- the more disgusted I am by our food supply.

Anyhoo, thought this random fact was kind of interesting. What do you think? Does this shock you or did you know where red dye comes from?
