me:
As long as it don’t hurt me and I can’t taste it I’m eating it
Shellac is a natural resin made by tiny insects called lac bugs (Kerria lacca). Here's how it works: 🐞 How it's made: Lac bugs live on trees in South Asia. They secrete a sticky resin to protect their eggs. This resin is scraped off the trees, cleaned, and processed into shellac. 🍬 In food: Shellac is used as a glazing agent — it makes things shiny and protects them. You’ll find it in: Jelly beans Chocolate-covered candies Some pills and supplements Apples or other fruits (to give a glossy finish) 🧪 Fun fact: Shellac is also used in wood polish, nail polish, and varnish — but the food-grade kind is purified to be safe for eating. Let me know if you want to see a video or image of how it's made — it’s kinda wild that it comes from bugs!
I literally stop eating jelly beans like some months ago
ok so what bug poop is probably the most normal things we eat and Gluten and the way they make that shit is nasty
Idc I'm still eating it
?
Guess what candy corn has the same stuff its nothing new lol
I SWEAR I JUST ATE JELLY BEANS LIKE 2 MINUTES AGO
