BTW. I learned recently that red food coloring has chitin in it. People who are sensitive to gluten are super allergic to chitin.

Also FYI Chitin: main use is as an edible coating to extend the shelf life of fresh fruits and vegetables. My allergies, when they were off the charts, extended to all fruit and veg. So we have been eatin ze bugs for a while.
