I’m confused. I’ve been using Swedish Fish to potty train my kiddo so I’m obviously concerned. But I don’t see any of the scary substances on the ingredients: SUGAR, INVERT SUGAR, CORN SYRUP, MODIFIED CORN STARCH, CONTAINS LESS THAN 2% OF CITRIC ACID, WHITE MINERAL OIL, NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR, RED 40, CARNAUBA WAX
And being allergic to Red 40 sucks. It causes severe breathing issues for me. I developed the allergy later in my 20’s, probably from eating it too much.
Mineral oil supposedly. Do your own research since it’s your kid, but it’s considered food safe here. Food grade mineral oil is used on knives and cutting boards regularly.

What am I missing?
Might be red 40. Colouring agents are highly regulated in the eu. Maybe the mineral oil.
Yeah, it’s the red 40: https://www.commodious.co.uk/knowledge-bank/food-safety/food-additives

I get crazy diarrhea. Looks like straight up blood spray.

That’s literally the 7th sentence of the article, which is literally not literally one of the first.
