Jack o’ lanterns flashing toothy grins and gaggles of
ghouls and goblins dressed to distress can mean only one thing-it’s
time to haul in some Halloween candy!
BOO! Did we scare you? To get a real fright,
check out the following list of scary ingredients that are lurking
in lots of candy and baked goods. BEWARE—these gross and
ghastly ingredients are not for the faint of heart:
Gelatin Goodies made with this ghoulish gunk
are bad to the bone. Gelatin rhymes with skeleton-because that’s
exactly what it is—animal bones, along with skin, hooves,
tendons, ligaments, and cartilage all boiled together in a cauldron
of goo and then added to candy, marshmallows, and wiggly, jiggly
Jell-O.
Carmine This red food dye made of squished bugs is found in candy and baked goods. Yuck!
Whey Derived from milk. —No way! —Yes,
whey!
Treats Fit for a-Gobblin’ Thanks to the
wide variety of vegan, fiendishly good goodies, you can indulge
in tasty treats and still be Franken-kind to animals.
