Only in America: 10 Foods Banned In Other Countries But We Still Serve

Consumers demand perfection, which leads to companies injecting artificial colorings, flavorings, and preservatives to please the perfect product purchase our society has adopted. Not all additives are harmful, but some are shockingly harmful such as petroleum or tar…would you like a side of tar with that?

The artificial colors Red #40, Blue #1 &#2, Yellow #5 & #6 all originate from industrial materials and have been linked to a number of cancers and health issues. They can be found in sports drinks, soda, vitamin supplements, colored candy and boxed mac n’ cheese.

Although the current food regulations are imprecise, some companies are taking action due to consumers becoming more health conscious. Chipotle, Subway, and Gatorade have all removed harmful additives from their products, with Papa John’s and General Mills recently announcing they will be cutting artificial flavors and colors from their products.
