This is in our foods and we don't even know it??!!

BAN BEETLES FROM OUR FOODS!!

Target:
food companies and manufacturers
Sponsored by: 
I was horrified when I watched 16:9 and discovered that GROUND UP BEETLE CARCASUS  are an ingredient in 1000's of CANADIAN FOODS AS WELL AS SOME COSMETICS!!!  WE HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT IS IN OUR FOODS!!! Canadian Foods Inspection Agency says that food companies do not have to put it on the ingredient label!! How sick is that I say??!! It makes people sick...including children...one of whom almost died when he was only 1 years old.  Beetles are disguised as CARMINE, E-120, RED 40, COCHINEAL, ARTIFICIAL COLORING AND NATURAL COLORS, ALSO KNOWN AS BEETLE JUICE.  They are found in such items as yogurt, ice cream, fruit juice, spaghetti sauce and frozen meals, AMONGST 1000'S MORE!! Some companies add beetles to simply add color to the foods!! PLEASE READ INGREDIENTS ON YOUR FOODS AND TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS!! IF WE ARE EATING BEETLES I THINK WE HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW AND DECIDE IF WE WANT TO EAT THAT PRODUCT OR NOT!! I THINK THIS IS ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS!!! AND THE THOUGHT OF EATING BEETLES REALLY MAKES ME SICK TO MY STOMACH!!!

To whom it may concern:

Why on earth are there beetles in food?? And why is it not on labels?? Why are beetles being disguised as ingredients such as CARMINE, COLORING ETC...This is scary because you have no right to put things in our foods that we don't know about...what about allegies?? Your actions could seriously harm or kill someone! I guess it shows "never trust what your eating!!".  BEETLES SHOULD BE BANNED FROM OUT FOODS AND COSMETICS AND FOOD COMPANIES AND MANUFACTURERS SHOULD BE EXPECTED TO PUT EVERYTHING ON FOOD LABELS...WE ALL HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT IS IN OUR FOODS AND WHAT WE ARE EATING!!

I can't beleive in this day and age that you would deliberately put beetles in our food. I find that repulsive! Do you eat what you manufacture? Do your children?

This not right that we do not have a right to know what we are eating in our foods ! Why ? when we are the ones who have to eat this stuff without knowing the truth , and wHY ? So that people can make money over something so gross bugs are not meant to be a food , they are in insect not a fruit , or vegtable ..ect ...! Sick to think that our own people don't think we have the right to know this ! I so agree "I THINK THIS IS ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS!!!

So I think that we should and do have a right to know what is in our foods and COME ON PEOPLE - if this does not work lets stop buing all these products and make out own foods from our own gardens ! Then mabe things will change !

This is totally outrageous. How disgusting! We have a right to know what ingredients are in our food, not have them disguised with tricky-sneaky wording.

This is sick and disgusting! What's worse is that the companies keep it a secret! This could possible harm someone in the form of allergies, among other things. We have a RIGHT to know what's in our foods, cosmetics, products, etc.!
