Food Additives: one more reason not to use them

Today we want to tell you briefly what's happening in the U.S. these days because we believe it is important for all consumers know the risks associated with the consumption of products containing food additives.

The article, which is sent by the online magazine "Friends eat ... a foodie coomunity", talks about what could be one of the most massive withdrawals of food products in history. A large batch of production of the additive HVP (Hydrolyzed vegetable protein), which is a hydrolyzed vegetable protein used to increase the aroma of a dish / food / raw material, is found to be carriers of bacteria that cause salmonella (an additive that always contains MSG ).

The Las Vegas company that produces it, the Basic Food Flavors, is withdrawing from the U.S. market is that the Canadian over a hundred products containing the contaminated vegetable protein.

Michael Hansen, one of the most distinguished scientists of the Consumers Union, said that this contamination could really relate to at least 10,000 products since the HVP could be a carrier of salmonella been used in virtually almost all products packaged in the box. In addition, an expert on the Brock University, Michael Armstrong, said that this case could be particularly insidious because the protein is also found in raw materials that could then be easily acquired by other companies for the realization of their products.

The article then goes on to:

• what dates the contaminated batch were taken (about every production in mid-September 2009);
• what are the actions taken by the FDA and the Basic Food Falvors to remedy this unfortunate event, etc. ...

maybe we risk of being repetitive to the death , even boring. But it is a risk worth taking if it's all about our health: choose a product from the list SHORT ingredients and ingredients that always failed to recognize (butter, olive oil, sugar, flour, salt ...) because is confident that will not be harmful. Those who exhibits a clear list of ingredients and a little mileage you can be sure that it does not for our own good but to lower production costs. Eye label then ALWAYS.
