- Whatever the dyes are, I can see that a dark green dye when cooked would turn black but can't believe their test audience did not give them the feed back on this. Can't think that's the visceral experience the company wanted to give customers as something to remember them by. -

- Of course, they do not tell us what dyes they use but do say the FDA says they are okay. Right, like I'd believe that.
Ingredients are no where to be found. Part of their Halloween trick, I guess.
* The flavoring and food colorings used to color the HA.1.®LOWEEN WHOPPER® black bun in the US, are commonly used in the industry and within the safe and Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). -

- Of course, in their test market, they used something that does have benefit to people: bamboo charcoal. Bet the Japanese would not let them use the dye in their country.
It's a good idea, having more taste in the bread, I think. Just not dyes, for crying out loud. Guess that "one percent of food dye" has enough longevity for repeat visit.
Imagine getting a colonoscopy after this. Might one be diagnosed with "green colon syndrome"?
. . . The burger was first introduced in Japan last year. The black bun offered in Japan reportedly got its black hue from bamboo charcoal.
The American version will not feature bamboo charcoal. The dark color in the U.S. sandwich comes from the "smoky black pepper flavor of A.1. baked into the bun," a Burger King spokesman told ABC News, adding that the bun also contains less than one percent of food dye. . . . -

That stuff would likely kill me. NO way I'd eat something full of green dye .. not sure about the charcoal. Who knows about that one being safe or not. I have my doubts.
I'm sure people are lining up so they can see their poop turn green, just like the idiots who swallow glitter pills.

- Why the bun recipe worked in Japan with no dye but a special kind of charcoal.
By the way, many with lyme take "Activated Charcoal" to help lessen heavy metals load.
The Bamboo charcoal is just FAR better for the planet as bamboo grows very fast and help the air while doing so. Usually charcoal is from trees, and they grow so slowly. And it takes a ton of wood to make a little bit of charcoal and is very labor and energy intensive, much more so than with bamboo.
I saved this from a thread but don't have the link:

chelating heavy metals right now (again) and have started taking Takesumi for detoxification/binding. It's amazing at binding the toxins. I felt better within a couple days. If you're having trouble detoxing, maybe finding a good binder would help.
. . . Because of the porous nature of the bamboo, it is an amazing absorber (up to 10x more so than wood treated similarly, according to many sources).
Research from Japan claims it emits far infrared rays (thus improving circulation) as well as negative ions and shields the body from EMF’s. It also is a natural source of minerals (macro and trace) and is reported to be alkalizing. . . . -

I know charcoal is good... but I don't think eating a black bun is the way to go.

- Oh, no, I hope that's not what came across. Only added this bit as one comment wondered about the charcoal and why this did not cause green poop in the test market was because they used the bamboo charcoal and not green dye.
Also, it just so happened that even in a bun with gluten and a glycemic index to the moon (as wheat flour does), at least the thing they added in Japan was something that has some value to it.
I'd never suggest anyone consume this even if they could get the Japanese version.
The bamboo detail was also in case readers might just find that of help -- minus the gluten, minus the fast food. -
