Food Products May Now Contain Unlisted Ingredients - NBC San Diego
Consumer Reports found companies are legally changing ingredients of food items without telling people, which could spell big trouble if you or a loved one is allergic to one of the substitute ingredients
The Food and Drug Administration is temporarily allowing manufacturers of packaged foods to substitute ingredients without changing the labels, meaning you might not know exactly what’s in the product.
This could spell big trouble if you or a loved one is allergic to one of the substitute ingredients. Consumer Reports explains why it’s happening and how you can make safer choices when you shop.
Right after the announcement, individuals and consumer advocacy groups launched a petition, sent letters to the FDA, and posted comments on its website demanding more transparency about food labels.
