Gut load using shredded sweetened coconut?

[Franquixote]

I am making holiday cookies and have some coconut left over from last year- it was frozen so no issues about freshness, but wondering if it's bad for crickets or roaches to eat shredded coconut- it also has sugar and preservatives in it (metabisulphate to preserve color and propylene glycol which is relatively safe).

Anyone know for sure either way? Can't find definitive answers on Google.

I don't know for sure, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it's not good for them.
