Mom horrified after finding \u201cdisgusting\u201d ingredient in kids\u2019 Easter biscuits TIKTOK: rawglowauA mom was left disgusted after finding a disturbing ingredient in her children\u2019s mini Easter chocolate biscuits. Australian content creator Katrina (rawglowau) took to TikTok to share the stomach-churning ingredient she discovered in her children\u2019s Easter treats. The mom initially thought she\u2019d found a safe option for her kids, as she glanced at the ingredients list for their chocolate biscuits. However, she then noticed a mysterious word in the list, \u201cCochineal,\u201d and decided to look it up on Google. What she uncovered left her horrified. \u201cAre you kidding me?\u201d Katrina said, after learning that Cochineal is a scaled insect, dried and crushed to produce a natural dye for food and textiles. \u201cHave you heard of it? Seriously, I am disgusted,\u201d she added. \u201cI don\u2019t know why this has to be in a biscuit. To me, that is just like, toxic. None of us will be eating these again and don\u2019t let your family eat these either.\u201d TikTok divided over \u201cdisgusting\u201d ingredient Katrina\u2019s video went viral with over 321,000 views, with some TikTok users in the comments agreeing that they don\u2019t want Cochineal in their food. \u201cOMG I just googled what products have cochineal in it, and there are heaps of products I consumed already that has this!!! I want to cry,\u201d one user wrote. \u201cJust because it\u2019s been used for centuries doesn\u2019t make it okay to be eating BUGS,\u201d another said. However, most users pointed out that it\u2019s totally harmless. \u201cCochineal is just another animal byproduct. If your kids eat the meat of animals, you\u2019ll be fine with cochineal,\u201d one person commented. \u201cI don\u2019t see how it\u2019s toxic? It\u2019s a natural food dye, no? I\u2019d prefer cochineal over red 40. Plenty of cultures eat bugs,\u201d another wrote. \u201cCochineal is 100% safe for consumption and is a natural\/safe alternative to man-made dye options like red 40,\u201d a third shared.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
