How to eat fewer insects

Step 5 What's in jelly beans?

Jelly Bean is my cat. She eats the bugs that she sometimes catches. Likewise, the jelly beans pictured here contain insects. Look at the last line of the list of ingredients: Confectioner's glaze. The list of ingredients is extremely long, but cut the guys some slack; that's a comprehensive list for the ingredients of a lot of different flavors of beans.

Interestingly, these are also labeled kosher. Even more interesting, they are certified by the very same folks that certified the Good & Plenty. (I see a pattern here. Look for certified kosher bacon next year!)

It contains peanuts because of the peanut butter flavoured jelly bean, methinks. However, by the time it actually gets into to product, it may be such a small amount that only severely allergic people might have a reaction to it. Who knows, either way, they're still stupid. All for food labeling reform in the U.S. say 'Aye!'

Why are Carnauba wax and Fumaric acid highlighted?

There are notes on the picture that are revealed when you mouse over the highlighted boxes. The notes on those two indicate their (non-insect) sources.
