Investigation finds ‘secretly’ added chemicals of unknown safety in US food supply | CNN Over 100 chemicals of unknown safety were secretly added to foods and supplements without notifying the public or the FDA, a new investigation found.

I swear, if humanity survives into the next millennium, it'll be in spite of ourselves.

"Natural" doesn't mean "safe." Just ask anyone who's gotten sick (or had someone die) foraging wild mushrooms without knowing what they're doing.

"We'd all like to believe our food is exactly what it appears to be — simple and free from anything that would make us gag. But dig into common food ingredient labels, and you'll discover a bizarre world of additives that can seem more suited to a hardware store."

Walmart to eliminate synthetic dyes, other additives from US house brands | CNN Walmart US said it would remove synthetic food dyes and other additives from its US house brands by 2027.

20 years ago, when I went to the supermarket, I had a shopping list in one hand, & a list with additives to avoid in the other (from strict EU rules). No reason but to avoid unnecessary chemicals eg I chose one vanilla ice cream brand over another though same price. Took months.
