Is yellow 6 or red 40 from pork?
No. But they are made from petroleum, which is processed with animal bone char. Nor are either really good for your body to ingest. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allura_Red_AC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunset_Yellow_FCF Then again who knows what they're really doing in the factories. I've heard this rumor frequently..perhaps they were made from pigs at some point.
Is yellow 5 and red 40 an pork product???
No, they are artificial chemicals derived from protrolium type products. They do not get these from plants and I believe that there are no pork products in them either. Still, not the best thing to put into your food if you do not need to. I recommend getting natural colors or just leaving out the color. Natural color will label their sorce of the color, it will be some type of fruit, vegetable, or spice (beet, cabbage, annatto, tumeric, paprika) it will not be a number.
3/5 of the balls in a box are red. The rest are green and yellow. The ratio of the number of green balls to the number of yellow balls is 5:3. If there are 10 less yellow balls than green balls, how many red balls are there?
This is a fun little excercise in solving a system of equations. Note that the variables are as follows: R is number of red balls, G is number of green balls, Y is the number of yellow balls and T is the total number of balls. Sorry for my poor penmanship.P.S. This is not the most elegant solution to this problem, but it is the one which I came up with most quickly and that most accurately represents my thought process when solving it. There is something to showing how you actually solved a problem when first confronted with it, as opposed to the super elegant method you came up with an hour later.

If glycerin is used as a solvent in liquid colors the they are Halal if plant fat glycerin is used, Haram if pork fat glycerin is used.
Is there gelatin in red 40?
From Source: Red AC [red 40] was originally manufactured from coal tar, but is now mostly made from petroleum. Despite the popular misconception, Allura Red AC is not derived from any insect, unlike the food colouring carmine, which is derived from the female cochineal insect. Not the best food dye, but it is veg.
For a pit bull puppy, is Pedigree a good food?
Let's take a look at the ingredients:Ground Whole Grain Corn, Meat And Bone Meal Source Of Calcium, Corn Gluten Meal, Animal Fat Source Of Omega 6 Fatty Acids Preserved With BHA & Citric Acid, Soybean Meal, Natural Flavor, Chicken By-Product Meal, Dried Plain Beet Pulp, Ground Whole Grain Wheat, Salt, Potassium Chloride, Brewers Rice, Choline Chloride, Dried Peas, Calcium Carbonate, Zinc Sulfate, DL-Methionine, Vitamin E Supplement, Niacin Vitamin B3, Biotin, Dried Carrots, L-Tryptophan, BHA & Citric Acid A Preservative, Blue 2, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, D-Calcium Pantothenate Source Of Vitamin B5, Riboflavin Supplement Vitamin B2, Red 40, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride Vitamin B6, Copper Sulfate, Sodium Selenite, Potassium Iodide, Vitamin A Supplement, Thiamine Mononitrate Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Folic Acid.Red flag #1: Corn is the first ingredient. Corn is a filler that offers minimal nutritional value.Red flag #2: Meat and bone meal. The fact that they're not saying which animal the meat comes from is alarming. The meat could be anything from rotting meat from slaughterhouse floors to euthanized animals.Red flag #3: Animal fat. Another unspecified protein source. No beuno.Those three ingredients alone would stop me from ever giving that food to my dog. A good dog food doesn't have to be ridiculously expensive. Just take a look at the back of the bags before buying. If the food has corn, skip it. If it has unnamed animal proteins, skip it.If you want an easier way to figure out if a food is good or not, Google Dog Food Advisor. You can look up the brand you're interested in or just sort the brands by rating. Pedigree has a rating of one out of five starts, due to the low quality ingredients they use in their food.Sorry for not just linking the website, but if I do, my answer will most likely be removed.
