American-Made Sprinkles

  Not for sale in: The UK Why? Hazardous components You probably don't think about your sprinkles very much when you spend hours in the kitchen making your own donuts or when you buy a colorful cake with your groceries. They're only there to make things look nicer and taste better, right? Not really. If you live in Great Britain, you might want to know that it's against the law for stores to sell anything with American-made sprinkles.  

That's because American-made sprinkles include erythrosine in them, which is also known as FD&C Red No. 3 in the US. This component gives the sprinkles their red color, but it can also make kids hyper.
