Some foods commonly consumed in the US contain ingredients that are banned in other countries. The European Union has banned artificial colors like yellow 5, yellow 6, and red 40 due to potential health risks, especially for children. GMOs are allowed in the US but not in most of Europe. Trans fats found in products like Ritz crackers and Pillsbury biscuits are banned in several European countries. BHT, a chemical found in wheat thins and frosted flakes, is banned in the UK, Japan, and parts of Europe. The FDA has strict guidelines and regularly reviews food additives. It is recommended to choose foods that are closer to their natural state and consider whether they come from a farm or a factory.

Certain food additives banned in other countries remain permitted in the US. Titanium dioxide, a potential carcinogen, is prohibited in the European Union but still appears in US products like Kraft cheese. Brominated vegetable oil, banned by the FDA in July 2024 due to thyroid disruption, is still present in many citrus-flavored sodas and store-brand drinks. Propylparaben, a suspected endocrine disruptor and xenoestrogen, is commonly found in store-bought baked goods, including products like Betty Crocker icing.

I'm getting groceries for our trip to Europe. Check out the color of Fanta here—it's quite different from the bright orange we see in the U.S. That's because they can't use artificial colors or dyes; this version is made with 100% orange juice. No chemicals mean you can enjoy it without worrying about weight gain. It's a stark contrast to American food, which often contains additives.

Speaker 0: You trust Costco with your family's dinner, but their meat undergoes a controversial process that's banned in several countries. Speaker 1: Everyone loves Costco chicken or even that rotisserie chicken from Walmart or your favorite grocery store. But what if that label on that rotisserie bird isn't telling you the whole story? What you're about to learn could change the way that you buy protein forever. Costco chicken is beloved and seen as a great deal. I know this. But recent discussions about preservatives, labeling accuracy, and contamination has put that belief at risk. Guys, look. Speaker 2: Costco is facing a lawsuit over its popular rotisserie chickens. A group of shareholders filed the lawsuit against the company over its treatment in raising chickens. Speaker 0: You trust Costco with your family's dinner, but their meat undergoes a controversial process that's banned in several countries. Most shoppers have no idea this is happening right under their noses. The real question isn't what they're doing. It's why they're allowed to do it. You know that famous $5 rotisserie chicken at Costco? The one that's been the same price since Obama was president? Well, there's a juicy secret they don't want you knowing about. Speaker 1: They label it as no preservatives, guys. And this goes hand in hand with Walmart and your probably your favorite grocery store. This is what I would call a huge scandal. There's a reason why those chickens have been four ninety nine since 2009. It's to get you in the store. It's to get you to spend a ton of money, and they've cut a lot of corners to make sure that it's cheap and easy to produce for you. Welcome, guys. My name's Cohen from Riverside Homestead. What I do is I give you guys value. I do the digging so you don't have to do it. So if you appreciate that, hit the thumbs up right now. Let the community know where you're chiming in from, what state, and let me crush your dreams on rotisserie chicken like ugh. Trust me. I know. So watch. This chicken is labeled as no preservatives, guys. And this goes hand in hand with Walmart and your probably your favorite grocery store. This is what I would call a huge scandal. There's a reason why those chickens have been four ninety nine since 2009. It's to get you in the store. It's to get you to spend a ton of money, and they've cut a lot of corners to make sure that it's cheap and easy to produce for you. Welcome, guys. My name's Cohen from Riverside Homestead.

Let the community know where you're chiming in from, what state, and let me crush your dreams on rotisserie chicken like ugh. Trust me. I know. So watch. This chicken is labeled as no preservatives, organic, healthy as it gets. We've talked about this before on this channel. Loopholes. Speaker 0: Costco injects every single rotisserie chicken with a phosphate solution before it hits those warming lights. Think you're buying pure chicken? Think again. You're paying for water with a side of poultry. This liquid injection makes each bird weigh significantly more, So you're essentially buying a sponge that's been soaked in chemical juice. Speaker 1: Did you guys know that these chickens are only about six weeks old because of everything that they pump into them? It's a marketing ploy to get you through the door for the cheap chicken and buy everything else. And there's active lawsuits right now. This is especially bred chicken in horrible conditions. Speaker 3: Grown and fattened on likely corn and soy that's GMO to create this chicken in six weeks that you're eating. They take it to a mass slaughter house where they dip it in chlorine and other toxins to make it safe, and it's leaving those residues on the chicken. And this bird isn't just seasoned with normal herbs and spices. They have preservatives in here like sodium phosphate that's linked to liver and kidney damage and carrageenan, which can degrade into polygenin, which is a known inflammatory agent and possible carcinogen. Speaker 1: Yeah. I found information on that from another doctor. Speaker 4: Doctor Tanya, what's one thing you never buy from the grocery store? Rotisserie chicken. Why? The bag the chicken is stored in is plastic, and it leaches chemicals that get into the food when it's sitting under the heat. Most stores inject the chickens with additives so that they can last on the shelf longer. Chickens are often marinated in a preservative solution. We opt for preservative free cosmetics, and then we're eating preservative infested chicken. And carrageenan. This is a chemical that precooked poultry is injected with to make it tender and juicy, but guess what? It can also inflame the gut. Carrageenan is banned in Europe, but not in The United States. Speaker 1: Yet again, another ingredient item banned in other countries, but allowed in The US. I know we love it because it's such a good deal. It's cheap. It's easy. It's taste great. I'm on the struggle bus with you guys on this one, but I'm reading countless articles, discussion about preservatives, labeling accuracy and contamination that has put all this belief at risk. Now I recently was at a Costco filming this right here. I was there. I saw it. It says no added hormones or steroids in a chicken that is fully developed in six weeks. Right there at the bottom, you can see it says no added preservatives. And have you ever wondered why it's in a plastic bag that you can put in your microwave? Microwave safe, plastic bag, put the two and two together. Speaker 3: Right out of the oven stored in a plastic bag. Nobody really knows what type of plastic bag this is, but it's likely a mix of polyethylene terephthalate. Remember that word phthalate? It's a known hormone disruptor, and this is microwave safe. So you're putting hot food into a plastic bag that can leach these hormone disrupting chemicals, and a 117,000,000 of these are eaten each year in The US. So share this video with your friends. Speaker 1: This is what I'm talking about. Hundreds of thousand millions of these chickens are sold in The US a year. This is why you need to share this out. Sorry folks, but they're just cutting too many corners these days. And it comes down to us. And who's gonna suffer? Us. They're gonna make a ton of money. So if you dive into the legal term no preservatives, they found loopholes to where they can actually put this legally. This is where the class action lawsuit or the lawsuit from a couple people in California are like, hold up. Wait a minute, you guys are using this stuff and this is preservatives, but you guys are saying it's no preservatives. In short, the processing agents that they're using can be deemed not to be called preservatives. Oh yeah, you're getting something with no preservatives, organic as it gets. Yet at the end of the day, you and I would look at that cross eyed and be like, Yeah, what they're using works the same way. It's not what you think it is. That's just what it is. I'm not sure if you guys have seen what these large scale poultry processing facilities look like, but it's not happy chickens walking around a field eating green grass and bugs. Think about the cross contamination that occurs and what safeguards exist and where they fail. For certain that these huge plants they fail. Great thing for Costco is they can scale. They can pump out millions of birds in six weeks and give it to us for a low price even with them losing money. That's right. Like I said, scammedemic kind of they will take a loss on this because they're producing at such a large scale and cutting corners just to get you through the door for that $4 and 99 rotisserie chicken so that you put hundreds of dollars of their stuff in your cart and check out. Other stores, Walmart, other grocery stores, they have caught on to this. They know what Costco found out. They're all doing the same thing. This is information that you need to consider. Speaker 5: Alright, guys. Here are three scary facts about Costco chicken that'll hopefully make you never buy this shit ever again. Alright. So I had to move on over to Lowe's to show you part two of this video. So they start by bathing the chicken in chlorine. They actually put it in a chlorine bath, and it soaks in this chlorine for about thirty minutes. Why does that and should that matter to you? I'm gonna tell you. Next thing they do is they inject the chicken with a chemical compound called TSP. It's trisodium phosphate. Guys, I'm just at Lowe's pulling this stuff off the shelves. This is crazy. I mean, this is the shit that you're allowing into your body. Read the warning label on this and tell me that this is a good idea to ingest in the human body. And then the last thing, which is I don't know if it's scarier than the other two things. They're all really bad. But they they let the chicken sit in these plastic bags, and they sit there for days on end, hours, days, whatever. It's sitting in your fridge for probably a long time. There are microplastics being released into the chicken from the plastic bags that are getting into your body, and it is unbelievably bad for you. Mean, there's microplastics showing up in human hearts, in in in men's testicles. Like, it's really, really bad, guys. So here's the deal. Everyone's gonna ask me, what do I do? Buy your chickens local. Go to your local farmer's market. Go to your local farms. They are a little bit more expensive, so just eat less or go or or just be resourceful and find deals. But stop buying this shit because it's literally killing you. Speaker 1: When I go to Home Depot and I pull TSP off the shelves, what kind of chemical is that? Speaker 6: So when you grab TSP at Home Depot, you're holding trisodium phosphate. It's a heavy duty cleaner, often used to degrease and prep surfaces before painting. Powerful stuff. Just use it with care. Speaker 1: What's the caution label say? Speaker 6: The caution label on TSP usually warns about skin and eye irritation. So gloves and goggles are a must. It'll also say not to inhale the dust and to keep it away from kids. Basically, respect the power and you'll be good. Speaker 1: What if you eat it? Speaker 6: If you ingest TSP, it's no joke. It can cause serious irritation. Think burns in your mouth, throat and stomach. The label will tell you to seek medical help immediately. No waiting. Speaker 1: So yeah, definitely not a seasoning. Speaker 1: But if you go down the rabbit hole on that one, it's gonna say that it's a different type and it's the safe version and the FDA would never allow that specific one in your food. Just a different one. So when they put it in like rotisserie chicken, they're probably just putting safe amounts of it. Speaker 6: Oh no, don't worry. They're not putting TSP in your rotisserie chicken. That'd be a disaster. Some food safe phosphates might be used in processing, totally different and regulated, but the cleaning product TSP strictly for walls, not wings. Speaker 1: Are you sure it's not the same thing? Because a lot of reels say it's the same thing. Speaker 6: Yeah. I get why those reels pop up, but trust me, food grade phosphates and TSP cleaner are not the same. The food versions are heavily regulated for safety. If they try tossing the Home Depot stuff in your chicken, the FDA would have a feel day. So no worries. Speaker 1: I'm telling you guys, it's a deep dive in half. Make informed decisions. Realize that these big companies are all about making the money, not about bringing you the safest product. And trust me, it's a little bit of a stab to me too because I like easy, I like tasty and we need that sometimes. But in this case, they may have jumped through too many hoops too many times, and it's putting Us consumers possibly in a bad position. Speaker 1: I've got two other great videos. If you guys didn't see these videos, you gotta watch these. These will blow your mind equally as much. Please let me know what you think down in the comments. Thumbs up. Share this out and subscribe because I've got a lot more coming down the pipe. Keep prepping, keep learning, keep doing. We'll see you guys on the next one.

There's something different about the wheat and grains in Italy and Europe. An Italian pasta maker said they produce significantly less pasta in a day compared to large US producers, emphasizing quality differences. Glyphosate is more regulated in the European Union. France exemplifies this with the French paradox: despite a diet rich in saturated fats from butter, cheese, and bread, the French are often leaner than their neighbors. This suggests that saturated fats may not be as detrimental as commonly believed. The quality of food in France and certain Italian provinces likely plays a role. The quality of ingredients probably matters.

American food is banned in Europe in some cases, requiring ingredient changes for companies selling there. For example, Mexican Coca-Cola uses different ingredients because Europe bans high fructose corn syrup. Pesticides are another concern, as processed foods contain them. Atrazine, the second most prevalent pesticide in the U.S., is banned in Europe. Studies allegedly show that atrazine exposure converted male frogs into female frogs.

The speaker says they want dyes removed from food, noting that products like Froot Loops contain dyes in the US but not in Canada or Europe. They are launching a review of Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) standards, which were adopted in 1958 to avoid testing common foods like flour, dairy, and eggs. The speaker claims industry took advantage of GRAS to add chemicals to food without review, resulting in 10,000 ingredients in US food compared to 400 in Europe. They state the US has the worst chronic disease burden globally. The plan is to eliminate GRAS standards for new products, review old ingredients for safety, and encourage companies to remove harmful ingredients.

I'm in a store in Sweden, where food regulations are strict. I found a section with American products, including Airheads. On the back of the packaging, there are warning labels indicating that it contains a substance that can negatively affect a child's behavior and concentration. This highlights the differences in food labeling between the U.S. and Europe.

In the US, Skittles contain 11 ingredients, including harmful substances like dimethylpolysiloxane and artificial dyes, while the UK version has only 3 ingredients and optional salt. The US version includes 10 artificial dyes and titanium dioxide, banned in Europe for its potential DNA damage and links to cancer. Gatorade in the US uses red 40 and caramel color, whereas Germany opts for natural colors from carrots and sweet potatoes. Doritos in the US contain multiple artificial dyes and MSG, while the UK version does not. General Mills recently launched a dye-free version of Trix in Australia, highlighting the disparity in food safety standards. This motivates the push for equal treatment of American consumers by food companies.

United States food additives have been banned across Europe. Professor Eric Milstone claims there is evidence that these additives may be toxic to human consumers and may initiate or promote the development of tumors. Many other scientists are claiming that there is overwhelming evidence that many processed food items in The United States Of America are causing all kinds of sicknesses across the country every single year. The question is, do you trust these processed foods?

In the 1980s, there were 700 approved food ingredients in America, compared to the current 10,000. Europe still uses approximately 700 ingredients. The speaker questions why American factories use 10,001 ingredients for American products, while using a different set of ingredients for the same products, such as Froot Loops, sold in Canada. The number of ingredients is presented as one component of a larger issue.

American foods containing the flavor enhancer BHT are being banned in other countries due to its cancer-causing properties. However, Japan has taken a different approach by opting for real, tasty food instead. Despite the ban, these products can still be found in American stores. To ensure your safety, check for the letters BHT on the packaging and avoid purchasing these items.

Cereal is claimed to be the worst way to start the day, negatively impacting brain function, gut function, and immune health. Cereal companies allegedly pay off nutrition lobbies to promote cereal over eggs, falsely claiming eggs are bad for you, while they are actually nature's multivitamin. Cereal is marketed by paying athletes and using cartoon characters to target children. The speaker claims that cereal contains artificial food dyes and preservatives that are banned in other countries but allowed in the United States due to lobbying. The speaker urges people to stop eating cereal and eat something healthy like eggs instead.

Speaker 0: Video that I sent you about that dude breaking down exactly what's in flour and why it fucks us up. Do you remember that video? You'll find it. It's the dude with the hat on who's the health expert. He's a young guy, and he does an amazing job of breaking down the difference between our flour and their flour. And you see, you get so upset. You're like, this is so crazy. You guys let them do this to us. Like, yeah, the whole brand in other countries is illegal here. How's that possible? Crazy, man. You would think Why are we putting up with this shit? Why? Why? Yeah. Speaker 1: It's because it's slow poison. Speaker 0: Yeah. It's not like alcohol is like, woah. You you feel it the next day. Like, oh my god. Speaker 1: Pizza is just a slow poison. A slow poison with a poison dough. It weighs you down. But it would this is the case. You down. Speaker 2: Explain to me why I can eat bread in Spain and in I can eat Greece, Italy. No problem. What? I was gluten free in fifteen years. I've been gluten free in Carnival, America. Can't eat it. Speaker 3: That's because in America, what we call bread can't even be considered food in parts of Europe. See here in America, it's not so much the gluten as what we've done to the grain. About two hundred years ago, we started stripping the bran and germ or the fiber and nutrients to make flour shelf stable, also nutritionally dead. Because the nutrients were gone, we enriched it with folic acid, which a large majority of the population can't even metabolize, therefore many people experience fatigue, anxiety, hyperactivity, and inflammation. But then the bread wasn't white, so they bleached it with chlorine gas, and the bread didn't rise enough, so they added a carcinogen called potassium bromate, which has been in several countries like Europe, The UK, and even China. Then we wanted to ramp up production, so we started using glyphosate to dry out the wheat before harvest, causing endocrine disruption and damaging your gut. So now you're bloated, brain fogged, tired, and blamed gluten, but gluten is just the scapegoat. The real issue is ultra processed, chemically altered, bleached, bromated, fake vitamin filled wheat soaked in glyphosate. Speaker 0: This Speaker 3: isn't bread. This is

Japan has banned American foods like frosted flakes, rice krispies, wheat thins, and honey bunches of oats due to a chemical called BHT, which is believed to cause cancer. BHT is used as a flavor enhancer in processed foods. Japan suggests using real food that tastes good instead. Despite the ban, these products are still available in other countries. To avoid consuming them, check for the letters BHT on the packaging and refrain from purchasing these items.

Most US chickens are bathed in small amounts of chlorine during processing to kill pathogens. These chilling baths often contain antimicrobial chemicals, and a tiny amount gets absorbed into the meat. US government regulators claim this chlorine use is safe and effective, breaking down into safe byproducts. However, most European officials disagree, fearing chlorine causes cancer. The EU has banned US poultry for nearly two decades, costing US poultry farmers hundreds of millions of dollars each year. Some claim political science has trumped sound science. An alternative approach involves blasting freshly slaughtered birds with very cold air for several hours to kill harmful pathogens. This air-chilled chicken costs about $2 more per pound. The USDA insists that antimicrobial agents like chlorine used by the poultry industry have been deemed safe and suitable by the FDA.

US versions of Skittles, Froot Loops, and M&M's contain high-risk additives not found in their European counterparts. Skittles in the US contain titanium dioxide, which is banned in Europe. Froot Loops in the US contain yellow six lake, red 40, blue one, and butylated hydroxytoluene, which are not in the European version. US M&M's have yellow five lake, yellow six lake, and Red 40 Lake, which the European version does not. The EU has stricter regulations than the US, leading to these ingredient differences. A California bill aims to ban harmful substances, potentially leading companies to reformulate products without ingredients like titanium dioxide and red dye three.

The speaker questions why the American version of Froot Loops contains artificial dyes and BHT, while the Canadian version does not. The Canadian version is made in the US with a different formulation, lacking red 40, yellow five, yellow six, and blue one. The speaker suggests two reasons for this discrepancy. First, natural food colorings are more expensive than artificial dyes derived from petroleum. Second, manufacturers acknowledge that natural food colorings are less bright and therefore less appealing to children.

American bread contains additives like potassium bromate and azodicarbonamide to make it fluffy and sweet. These chemicals are also found in yoga mats, pesticides, and explosives. These chemicals can cause cancer. The European Union, the UK, and China have banned these additives from food production. The FDA says these additives are generally recognized as safe to eat.

America's food is banned in 30 countries and is allegedly killing people. Lay's potato chips, for example, have different ingredients in America versus Europe. Over 10,000 food chemicals are allowed in the American food system that are not allowed in other countries. This makes it easier for food companies and gives products longer shelf life due to the chemicals. When people lobby for healthier food choices, the food industry lobbies against it with millions of dollars.

American bread contains additives like potassium bromate and azodicarbonamide to make it fluffy and sweet. These chemicals are also found in yoga mats, pesticides, and explosives. It is claimed these chemicals can cause cancer. The European Union, the UK, and China have banned these additives from food production. The FDA in America considers these additives as generally recognized as safe to eat.

Milk produced in the US is banned in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and the EU due to the growth hormone RBGH given to cows. This hormone is deemed harmful to health, leading to its ban in these countries. Despite Europe banning RBGH years ago, US regulatory authorities still approve its use annually.

The speaker claims the U.S. has 10,000 food ingredients due to the FDA's GRAS standard, which presumes chemicals are safe until proven guilty. Europe, in contrast, has only 400. Kellogg's Froot Loops in the U.S. contain red, blue, and yellow dyes, unlike the version sold in Canada, which uses vegetable dyes. A U.S. McDonald's French fry has 11 ingredients, while the same product in Europe has three. The speaker believes companies are mass poisoning American children due to their influence over regulatory agencies and asserts they are the only one who can stop it.

Some health foods banned in other countries include American chicken washed in chlorine, American ground beef with pink slime containing ammonia gas, pork with Ractopamine linked to health issues, salmon with chemicals like methylmercury and antibiotics, and milk with a synthetic growth hormone called rug that increases cancer risk. These additives are approved despite their negative effects on health.

After living in the US for over seven years, a traveler vacationing in Europe was surprised by restaurant service in France. In the US, leftover food is packed by the customer, but in France, the restaurant staff packed the leftovers. This prompted research, revealing an article advising against touching consumed food due to potential contamination. The speaker suggests this indicates Europeans may be less concerned about germs and viruses.
