Keep your kids away from this stuff.

These products are loaded with microplastics and can even contain bugs and parasites, not to mention that processed foods are legally allowed to include a certain amount of insect parts as permitted by the FDA. Yes, really.

What you’re seeing could be moth or beetle larvae, especially if it was imported.Many of these candies are coated in shellac, a glossy finish made from crushed beetles. So even if it looks clean, you're still eating something from an insect.

And that colorful look? It's all thanks to artificial dyes like Red 40, Yellow 5, and Blue 2, which chemicals have been linked to hyperactivity, allergic reactions, and even cancer.
