INGREDIENTS OF THE DAY: None
In this second episode that reviews toxic additives that wind up in our food supply, I look at three more examples. In California, these additives were banned in 2023 as part of the California Food Safety Act since the federal government was dragging its feet. Since then, the FDA has acted on several petitions to extend the bans nationally. Other toxic additives that have not been banned are briefly reviewed to expose the extent of the problems. Most of these dangerous additives have been utilized in the American food system for many years. Many of us have been exposed to them since birth. Lastly, I make a significant announcement about the Food Labels Revealed podcast.
