    Don't let it sit on your wood furniture - it probably hardens up like Shellac too.

    Maybe that is why Starbuck's coffee is so bitter?
    That said, I think that I would rather eat a natural dye obtained from a high protein source than some wierd lab dye that 10 years from now will have a lawyer ad on TV...

    Agreed! Their reasoning was to go to a more natural "organic" coloring rather than an a chemical dye. It's FDA approved, it's fine.

    Bugs seem like a bit of an odd thing to get worked up over - even for an animal rights activist, wouldn't the ham sandwiches be a bigger deal? You've got to make the red dye out of something. And it's probably something most people wouldn't want to eat.

    Haha, yeah, the guy had known about it for 17 years, and we just now care? Even the guy/FDA scientist that brought it up simply called it "economic fraud" and nothing was ever said about it being unhealthy or unfit for human consumption. Even better, was it was substituted for a previous filler, which the previous filler material wasn't ever mentioned, could be worse!

    strange product.
    mexicans called it tuna blood.

    they should use beef tuna and chicken to satisfy the vergetarians concern over the bug.
    had a torque line of a diesel...because it was one.
