FDA Targets Chemical Preservatives in U.S. Foods
Liberty Check
The FDA is reviewing chemical preservatives in processed foods and tightening food labeling standards as it moves to align closer with European norms.
These new measures address longstanding concerns about chemicals deemed safe under outdated FDA policies, raising the issue of consumer rights and government overreach.
- BHA, used in thousands of U.S. foods, is under review over cancer concerns, with the FDA commissioner citing its use in rubber and plastics.
- Other substances like BHT and azodicarbonamide—found in cereals and bread—are scrutinized due to links to hormone disruption and industrial use.
- Europe has already banned many of these chemicals, yet U.S. companies continue to use them thanks to FDA loopholes that sidestep robust safety testing.
Stay informed and challenge regulatory complacency—your health and freedom demand it.
Americans deserve better.
