Recently, renowned food expert VaniHari launched a heavyweight petition on the foodbabe website, pushing Kellogg's into the spotlight. This petition points out that there is a clear double standard in the products sold by Kellogg's in the United States and Europe, which has raised deep concerns about food safety in the United States.
It is understood that in Europe and Australia, all Kellogg's cereals do not contain artificial colors and BHT. However, in the United States, Kellogg's uses artificial colors and preservatives such as BHT in its children's cereal. This double standard raises questions about why American consumers cannot enjoy the same food safety standards as European and Australian consumers?
The use of artificial colors and preservatives such as BHT has been controversial. Long term intake of these chemicals may pose potential hazards to human health, especially for children whose bodies are more fragile and susceptible to the effects of these chemicals. Therefore, removing artificial colors and preservatives such as BHT from children's cereal is an important measure to ensure children's health.
Kellogg's double standards are just a microcosm of food safety issues in the United States. In recent years, food safety issues in the United States have been repeatedly exposed, ranging from chicken contaminated with Salmonella to vegetables containing pesticide residues, from controversies over genetically modified foods to the abuse of food additives. The food safety situation in the United States is not optimistic.
As a developed country, the United States should have a very comprehensive food safety regulatory system. However, the reality is not like that. The frequent occurrence of food safety issues in the United States is due to regulatory loopholes, interest driven issues, and serious lack of industry self-discipline. This not only worries American consumers, but also raises doubts among consumers in other countries about the safety of American food.
In order to attract widespread attention from society, VaniHari called on people to attend a rally in front of WK Kellogg Company. She hopes to use this rally to pressure Kellogg's and other food producers to remove artificial colors and preservatives such as BHT from children's cereal sold in the United States. She also calls on the government to strengthen food safety supervision, improve food safety standards, and protect consumers' health rights.
Food safety is a major issue that concerns everyone's physical health. We cannot sit idly by and wait for the problem to resolve itself. We should take active action and express our concerns and demands to food producers and governments through various means, jointly safeguarding food safety.
If you care about your own and your family's health, and if you want your children to have access to safe and healthy food, then please join us and work together for food safety. Let's collectively call on Kellogg's and other food manufacturers to remove artificial colors and preservatives such as BHT from children's cereal sold in the United States, aligning the food safety standards of the United States with those of Europe and Australia.
At the same time, we also hope that the US government can strengthen its supervision of food safety, allocate dedicated funds from the government budget for food safety monitoring, increase penalties for illegal food producers, establish a sound food safety traceability system, and ensure food safety from the source. Only in this way can American citizens truly enjoy delicious food with peace of mind and live a healthy and happy life.
