Now, if the product that has red 40 in it is marked as kosher, then it has to be from another source because beetles aren't kosher, but if the product isn't kosher, there's a good chance that it's cochineal. I have looked and looked and haven't been able to figure out what the other food dyes are made from. As such, I try to avoid them because it bothers me that what they really are seems to be such a secret.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1141152051948458052006-02-28T10:40:00.000-08:002006-02-28T10:40:00.000-08:00W A Y back there "Avery" mentioned purchasing a la...W A Y back there "Avery" mentioned purchasing a laptop lunch box in order to use the containers in their already-purchased lunch kit. Just wanted to point out that not all of those containers have lids. The lid of the laptop lunch box itself becomes the lid of some of them. A couple would work, but probably not enough to get your money's worth!<BR/><BR/>Also, my local supermarket now has Silk Yogurt! If it arrives at yours, please try to buy it there so they know there is a market for it!
