Algae is in our food!?!

Our home work assignment was to go home and find things that had these three types of algae in them: alginates, carrageenans, beta carotene. I could only find two of the three in my house hold. I found alginates and Beta carotene. I found alginates in easy mac & cheese. I found beta carotene in cream of chicken soup and in  chicken noodle soup. I can make a very good inference that it is chicken. I could not find carrageenan in my house so I asked a friend, Hali Goad, and she had one. She found it in slim fast.
This has beta carotene in it.
