huh - upon re-reading as well as looking it up ---- Minute Maid contains (extra) vitamin D ... Fine. And they get the vitamin D from lanolin - which is not a meat - but still kinda different, rather it's from a "wax" (waterproofing) from sheep wool. Interesting.

The link says they use crushed beetles for the red coloring.

It's not the coloring I don't think, it's the shell. It's the same stuff lacquer is made from if I'm not mistaken.

I did not read the article

Cochineal for carmine colour.
"...scale insect in the suborder Sternorrhyncha, from which the crimson-coloured dye carmine is derived. A primarily sessile parasite native to tropical and subtropical South America and Mexico, this insect lives on cacti in the genus Opuntia, feeding on plant moisture and nutrients...."

"...Shellac is edible and it is used as a glazing agent on pills (see excipients) and candies in the form of pharmaceutical glaze (or, confectioner's glaze). Because of its alkaline properties, shellac-coated pills may be used for a timed enteric or colonic release.[12] It is also used to replace the natural wax of the apple, which is removed during the cleaning process.[13] When used for this purpose, it has the food additive E number E904...."

Good grief, holy hysteria, Batman.

There is no point worrying about trace amounts of anything except maybe plutonium or ricin.

How many bug parts end up in our food? Way more than we'd like to ever think but that's just life and reality.
