Every day, and without even being aware of it, one swallows substances more disgusting than the other, and whose origin risks surprising more than one.

  • 1- Traces of fertilizer - in the bread: hidden under the scientific name of ammonium sulphate, traces of fertilizers can be found in the rods and industrial breads, especially those of the fast food chain Subway.

  • 2- Beaver anal glands - in sweets: the secretions of anal glands of beaver, or castoreum for the intimates, enter the composition of perfumes and eau de cologne, but also sweets ... They enhance the raspberry taste of sweets

  • 3- Beef fat - in biscuits. Many of you will not be surprised to learn that some brands enhance their biscuits or chocolate bars with beef fat. Are we zapping the snack?

  • 4- Crushed insects - in red food dyes. Is the idea of ​​eating insects repulsive? And know that you already swallow a dozen of them when you eat foods that contain "carminic acid". Some industrialists even try to label "natural dyes" on products whose dyes are derived from crushed insects. It makes you want.

  • 5- Ladybug juice - for candy glazing. We have all already tasted the skittles type candy or the edible colored straws used to decorate a cake ... Their solid glaze with "lacquered" effect comes from the secretions of ladybirds, "shellac" or "shellac" in the Scientific jargon.

*6- Sheep wool - in chewing gum. Lanolin is a substance obtained from the purification and refining of wool, the fatty part of wool. It hides under the name of "gum base" or "gum base". A meal, a coffee ... A toothbrush?

  • 7- Human hair and duck feathers - in bread. Cystine or L-cysteine ​​is an animated acid found in human hair and duck feathers. It is not uncommon to find the mention "L cysteine" on the label of halal and kosher products ... This substance is also present in most industrial breads.

  • 8- Coal tar - coloring for pink candy. Although coal tar is classified by the United Nations in the list of hazardous substances, it continues to be used as a food colorant, especially for sweets and other sweets to which a red or pink color is to be added.

*9- Calf's stomach - in the cheese. A good number of cheeses contain rennet, a natural coagulant extracted from the 4th stomach of calf. In the UK, consumers are informed of the presence of rennet in cheese to help vegetarians make informed choices, but there is no indication in the rest of the world. You just have to try to guess!

*10- Sand - in chili. Does your chili have a holiday flavor? Not surprisingly, some brands use silica, it's sand, as an anti-caking agent.
