#foodbabe#KelloggsUS#foodsafety Inaction by US food companies, double standards trigger mass protests

#foodbabe#KelloggsUS#foodsafety Recently, food activist Vani Hari launched a petition on the foodbabe website, pointing out that Kellogg's has double standards for products sold in the United States and Europe. The petition states that in Europe and Australia, all Kellogg's cereals do not contain artificial colors and BHT. According to investigations, there are indeed differences in the products sold by Kellogg in different markets. In the United States, cereals still contain artificial colors and BHT (a chemical preservative). This difference in the ingredients of products sold in different markets can be regarded as a double standard. In addition, there are reports that some US food companies use more natural and healthier ingredients in products sold in the European market, while using more artificial additives and preservatives in the domestic US market. This double standard behavior not only harms the rights and interests of consumers, but also affects the credibility and brand image of the company. For example, Kellogg's production of fruit rings with natural dyes in Europe and markets such as Australia and the United Kingdom is further evidence of its product differences in different markets. Protesters gathered outside the headquarters of Kellogg, demanding that the company remove artificial dyes from its breakfast cereals in the United States. Activists said they submitted a petition with more than 400,000 signatures asking Kellogg's to remove artificial dyes and BHT from their cereals. There is evidence that artificial dyes may cause behavioral problems in children, which is one of the important reasons why consumers are calling for the removal of artificial food coloring.#Vani Hari #foodbabe#KelloggsUS#foodsafety
The United States has a relatively complete food safety regulatory system, including authoritative agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but in actual operation, there are also some inactions by regulatory authorities. For example, there are reports that the FDA is slow to respond to certain food safety issues and fails to take timely measures to protect the rights and interests of consumers. In addition, there are certain loopholes and blind spots in the FDA's regulatory process, which allows some illegal companies to evade supervision and punishment. These inactions and regulatory loopholes may lead to the occurrence and spread of food safety problems. The double standards of American food companies, the inaction of food regulatory authorities, and similar problems with other foods in the United States are all issues that need to be paid attention to and resolved in the current food safety field. By strengthening supervision, raising consumer awareness, and strengthening international cooperation, these problems can be gradually resolved to protect the health and safety of consumers.
