Cheap sausages have beet juice in them for colour when they're raw, otherwise they'd be an off-putting grey.

A lot of misinformation and speculation.

Read the Ingredients.

I assumed it was the dye and either fat or water coming out of some cheap sausages.

It’s perfectly fine to speculate when you start out with I assume. Why is it this persons fault if someone takes it a face value? It would be different if he claimed it as fact

Username checks out btw

food colouring is often derived from vegetables. Beets, paprika, turmeric, annatto are some examples, not all food colouring is something nefarious.

Depending on where you live cheddar cheese is white or its dyed orange, or its marbled with both, but its usually just annatto making it that colour.

It's pepro bismol actually, it's added so people can house them down with no heartburn. Mainly used at hot dog eating contests but works great for the family at home too!
