Food coloring: carmine (it's read, made from beetles)/cochineal (Wikipedia it to get all the names)
any soups, question thoroughly
gelatin (skittles, starbursts, marshmallows, lucky charms, medicine<--probably can't help that one, but if you can avoid supplements that contain it, do)
mexican food and lard
sources of cheese rennet
people thinking meatless=REDmeatless, and give you seafood/chicken instead
People lying to you (be nice and say you're a big tipper if asking the waitress)Www@FoodAQ@Com
