Honestly I've never realized before that from that low-quarter-view, the eagles actually look kinda cute and friendly, not intimidating like from the side or ridiculous like from the front.

And they're saying they can make it without the shitty ingredients, they don't wanna if they don't have to.

The manufacturers of Lemonheads, Starburst Gummies, Hershey's and Jolly Ranchers told the BBC their products were produced legally in the USA and that any products being sold in the UK were being done so illegally, and not associated with their brands.

How appropriate that I have a ton of Eagles where I live, and they hang out at the dump eating rats will of garbage all day.

AFAIK mineral oil and petroleum jelly are considered food safe. In the food industry they are used as lubricant on machinery that comes into contact with food (like meat slicers or even soda machines). Petroleum jelly is also found in a lot of skin care products, like Vasoline, vapo-rub, makeup -removing cream, and is also used in lip balm.

That being said, oil & gas extraction has and is wreaking havoc on our environment and health. So, while these products may be safe for human contact, they have a cost.

In the U.S. it is commonly found in phamacies and sold as a laxative. It is excellent for cutting boards and wooden spoons since it does not go rancid. It is usually the only approved oil/grease to use on food processing equipment. Commercial and home espresso machines use it to lubricate seals and gaskets.

Unrelated: it is great for rejuvenating Bakelite

Deregulation, baby! 🇺🇸🦅

That reddish-black stuff you’re coughing up is liquid freedom!

you absolutely consume mineral oil. it is a lubricant often used for food related equipment

Somehow the jolly rancher story just got even worse. Better? Worse.

We classify mineral oil as food safe. It's a powerful laxative and you really wouldn't want to get a lot of it in your food but I use it on my cutting boards to keep them from drying out and cracking.

Is there a way to make homebrew Jolly Ranchers without chemical bullshit? Anyone know of a recipe?

american candy is literally drugs /ss

that is now a legal medication and would simply require a tax and loicense

bovril though due to foot and mouth concerns.

Is it because it tastes like someone put a foot in your mouth?

“Lights” are also illegal for sale as food products in the US, so no haggis. Thanks FDA. No really, that stuff is disgusting.

Might be red 40. Colouring agents are highly regulated in the eu. Maybe the mineral oil.

The article said mineral oil

Mineral oil supposedly. Do your own research since it's your kid, but it's considered food safe here. Food grade mineral oil is used on knives and cutting boards regularly.

What, Red 40 is still legal in the US?

They included Jolly Ranchers hard sweets containing mineral oil, which if contaminated with other compounds can initiate cancer formations.

It's literally one of the first sentences in the article.

It's the red 40.

Illegal in Japan at least due to a preservative used in it https://www.reuters.com/...

(Seiyu stopped making Reece's here (almost?) entirely so I only get them when family sends them or someone on one of the military bases is feeling kind and gifts us a pack).

That’s a really low bar you have there for “good candy.”

The substance:

Calcium Disodium EDTA, which is banned within drinks in the UK, was found in Mountain Dew.
In animal studies, the crystalline powder caused adverse reproductive and developmental effects and has been shown to contribute to cancer of the colon.

Yes, but unironically.

Something something no Kinder Eggs!

Yes, it used to have brominated vegetable oil before it was banned for being obviously toxic.

All this time we've been worried about the Kinder Eggs.
