Silkworm poop as cheese whitener?

[Doug Yanega]

The subject says it all. I got an urgent question a few minutes ago as to
whether it was true that silkworm feces, which is high in chlorophyll, was
used as a whitening agent during cheese manufacturing. I'd like to confirm
it one way or the other.

Peace,
