IS THIS TRUE!?!??????!
that the shell part of m&ms and skittles are made of out the backs of cockroachesWww@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
What you're thinking of is probably a red dye called Carmine, which is made from crushed cochineal insects, or a food glaze called Shellac, which is made from an excretion from beetles!. Both are found in some candies!. M&Ms and Skittles do not contain this, their shells are made from sugar and corn syrup!. Here a few foods that DO contain either Carmine or Shellac:
Nerds
Sugar Daddies
Good and Plenty
Some flavors of Jelly Bellies
Tropicana or Ocean Spray grapefruit juice
Maraschino cherries (also the cherries in fruit cocktail)
Yoplait strawberry yogurt
Some pink lemonades
Many others
Check food ingredients for any of the following:
Carmine
Natural Red 4
Cochineal Extract
Carminic Acid
Confectioner's Glaze
Shellac
Resinous Glaze
All of the above are names for Carmine or Shellac!.
