Wrigley
We are all very fond of Skittles, the rainbow-colored chewy candies made by Wrigley. The popularity of the product can be gauged from the fact that over 200 million Skittles candies are produced on a daily basis. Skittles used carmine to color its candies red prior to 2009. It was a complete no-no for vegans, as it also contained gelatin, a protein that is processed from the cartilage of animals as a binder. The company substituted Red 40 for carmine as the red dye.
