The supermarket may seem like a saviour. Yet, you may be terrified if you knew what lurked at the back of your best ice creams, bread, beer, or packaged beef. You'll never eat or drink these 10 items again now that you know what's in them.

Industry guidelines allow chocolate bars with eight insect legs to be "inspection-ready." As you bite into a crispy bar, think of that.
Vegans must be careful about beer. Brewing uses misleading isinglass. What's its origin? This comes from fish bladders. It brightens the colour.
Carmine from female African beetles' bellies is one source of red food colouring. They're crushed and squeezed for the Natural Red #4 hue.
Mayonnaise is delicious, but it's heavy in fat and calories. It is advisable to limit its consumption to extremely low.
Frozen meals seem convenient. After a long day, you may microwave a meal. They're heavy in fat, calories, and salt, which you should minimize in your diet.
Aspartame is not a calorie-free sweetener. Artificial sweeteners have downsides and may lead to cancer, stroke, mental illness, and headaches.
Despite their taste, canned mushrooms are deceptive. The FDA allows a certain amount of maggots, around 30 larvae and 75 mites.
Carbon monoxide keeps meat's red colour from fading in processing plants. Even if the amount is modest and doesn't affect flavour, rancid meat appears fresh.
