4. Antifreeze

Antifreeze is used so that cars in cold weather don’t turn into a pile of useless metal, but you probably wouldn’t want to take it for food. Those who like to eat cakes are especially unlucky, as antifreeze is sometimes used in their production to avoid the formation of fatty lumps. The main ingredient is propylene glycol, which is also used as a flavor enhancer in frozen desserts and baked goods. If you eat something that contains this element, then try not to let your animals lick the plates after these dishes, as it is very toxic for them.

5. Bitumen or oil

Now oil is still used as an alternative to bitumen. It is contained in almost any food product that is stained artificially. Other gasoline-based components include tert-butylhydroquinone, which is noted as E319, and is also used to create biodiesel and varnishes. So, if you eat crackers, noodles, fast food or frozen fish, then there is a very high chance that you use gasoline.

6. Beetles

You can always find them in your garden. The food dye cochineal is produced by boiling or drying insects such as cochineal, which are then crushed to release the red color. This supplement exists under several names: E120, carmine and natural red 4. With this material you meet quite often, especially if you like the Battenberg cake.

7. Wax

It is known that Haribo Starmix is nothing but a wax with a small amount of sugar and flavors. This is not the wax from which to make candles, but one that is used for rubbing the car body. Carnauba wax is listed as an ingredient that is found in many sweets, and can also be found in glazed donuts and shoe polish. This material is extracted from Brazilian palms.
