#3 – Bug Parts
Jelly Belly has made so many flavors of jelly beans that it is hard to keep up with them, but the shellac that makes these candies, as well as others, so shiny actually comes from the excretions of the female Lac bug. If that isn’t gross enough Carmine, also known as “Natural Red #4”, is the red food coloring that comes from boiled cochineal bugs. This red coloring is found in multiple foods such as yogurt, syrup, ice cream, candy, pink lemonade, and grapefruit juice.
