Whats the worst ingredient you've seen on a lable?
For sure gross mental imagery, the grossest ingredient I've seen on a food label was on a can of American Style Hotdogs, which had "Mechanically recovered Chicken" listed as one of the main ingredients, it almost put me off eating them, but not quite. Additional Details

I still eat Brains Faggots on a regular basis they are YUMMY! WOW... that sounds absolutely disgusting.
This isn't gross imagery, but I get pretty freaked out when I see these long and/or often unpronounceable ingredients on a food package, i think twice about buying it now... ESPECIALLY because my hubby it works at a chemical factory and will look and point and say, "hey, i know what THAT is!!!!" and it ends up being some really nasty thing I'd really never put in my body, even though it supposedly is FDA approved! what is a lable? actually, it is the combination of the stuff in worchestershire sauce that gorked me. fermented raisens and anchovies... I think that beats anything that I can come up with right now, but once on a packaged sausage I read "assorted pig innards". ew. Co ck Soup freaks me out a little bit
http://www.purplekitten.co.uk/pictures/m... Mechanically recovered is a term, also known as mechanically seperated, used for the process of using a machine to separate, under high pressure, meat from bones for chicken, pork, & beef.
My worst lable experience wasn't an ingredient, it was an instruction. I had a headache and was at my friends house. She handed me a bottle of what I thought was aspirin, until I read the lable. It said "Adults: take 1 pill 3 times daily until passing away."
No, I didn't take any of those tablets. LOL mechanically seperated chicken.....this was on a tin of hotdogs, they were not the cheapest brand either.
I hasten to add that I hate hot dogs, my husband loves them YUCK! Certain red food dyes are derived from insects. The ingredient name generally used is carmine. Here's the definiteion from Wikipedia:
Carmine (IPA: [?kɑrma?n -m?n -min]), also called Crimson Lake, Cochineal, Natural Red 4, C.I. 75470 or E120, is a pigment of a bright red color obtained from the carminic acid produced by some scale insects, such as the cochineal and the Polish cochineal, and is used as a general term for a particularly deep red color. Carmine is used in the manufacture of artificial flowers, paints, rouge, cosmetics, food additives, and crimson ink. Dogsh1t
It was on the news once a bored factory worker put this on the ingredients list in something I think it was really cheap sausages
Probably not far off though Cochineal/carminic acid- its food colouring made of crushed beetle shell and it's in things like alcoholic drinks, bakery products and toppings, cookies, desserts, icings, pie fillings, jams, preserves, gelatin desserts, juice beverages, varieties of cheddar cheese and other dairy products, sauces and sweets. The average human consumes one to two drops of carminic acid each year with food. Makes you think about what you put in your mouth. Lentils !!!
Ewwwwwwwwwwwww Pork Guts E120 Cochineal, found very often in all sorts of food and drinks:
An expensive red colouring, not suitable for vegetarians as it is extracted from the crushed carcasses of the female Dactylopius coccus, a cactus-feeding scale insect, which are killed by either immersion in hot water or by exposure to sunlight, steam, or the heat of an oven. Beef lips (on a jar of pickled sausages.) On hotdog sausages I saw the ingredient "plasma" honest! I've never eaten any hotdogs since. On an American jar of low fat peanut butter I noticed they added an ingredient to make it "creamier" I think it was aluminium hydroxide, when I read that I gave it away. I was reading the very long list of ingredients on the label of some Orowheat brand bread, and discovered that their bread contains:
BREAD FLAVORING
What on earth is that???? any food colourings with numbers...It scares me.. Does anyone remember Brains Faggots? Now at least they didn't try to hide THAT ingredient. They just stuck it in bold letters on the front of the box! lol!
