So what? I would rather eat soya and enhancers than infected horse....
Carmine and cochineal have been used as a colouring for 100s of years and is perfectly safe...... Sounds like a slow news day article to me.

isn't the clue in the word "flavour". I'd be aghast if I found a chunk of bacon in my bag of smokey bacon frazzles

Yeah, I was going to say, it says 'flavoured', so they can get themselves out of it by saying they don't state there is bacon, chicken, beef, etc; in them. As long as those buying think they taste good, I suppose they won't be that bovered.

What no meat in the Pot Noodles.... How is this possible ? I mean such an expensive quality product with 100% natural ingredients has no meat in it . Surely not this must be some sort of wind up .... Yes !!!!

I am sure on QI that Stephen Fry said there were bits of Insects in minute quantities in most foods, and the panel seemed to know this also.

It's to do with the colouring carmine, it's red and is made from a natural source...

So, they use insects in the making of food, like making the artificial colourings?

Well that makes more sense than them just tossing insects into the food.
