Then you needn't be using the formatting-instruction flow object.

I'm not sure what colour you want the dash, and your script will process
the entire food element instead of just the two you've asked for, so I've
made some changes below to give you what you asked for.  You can take it
from there.

Remember that the content expression for a "make" can contain multiple
sosofos.

I hope this helps.
