I have to add to this thread (sorry). Marichino cherries contain red dye #3. Red dye #3 as with most dyes are made from petroleum, the same one you use in your car. This one is particularly bad though and is band and many countries. The reason it is not band in ours is because when they tried the fruit cocktail companies threw a fit because it is the only dye that doesn't run and they didn't think they could sell their product with out it. I am very watchful about dyes and just thought I would share the info on this one with you.

don't apologize......that's an interesting bit of info.....I just found out yesterday where and how they make gelatin.... ......where and how alot of things are made here are enough to make ya rethink knockin some things practiced in 3rd world countries.....once you really start looking it things......it's just plain scary!!!!(not to mention disguisting)
