Ok....so I had signed up for this newsletter initially to find out what was in my beer... i know its says food babe but hey the guys actually read it and Bonnie is super cool and nice :O)
I have been shocked and amazed as to some of the information that she has researched regarding the ingredients in our food that we eat. Not to mention that her blog has saved me tons of time on researching these items myself.
We wonder why our kids are acting crazy?? HELLO!!! IT'S WHAT WE ARE FEEDING THEM!!! Really??!! My absolute favorite in the world.....KRAFT MAC N CHEESE!!! NO!!!
I'm not buying that any more....I will start making my own from scratch with certified organic cheese, milk, and noodles. So disappointing!!!
Blurb from Foodbabe's Blog:
Kraft Mac & Cheese is made with Genetically Modified Wheat.
Below is a picture of the warning label that is placed on a box of Macaroni and Cheese (the same one we buy here) imported into the UK from the United States. The UK and other European countries require a warning label if a product contains artificial food dyes and/or GMOs. This label has a warning for both! You must be wondering how the heck did I get this box of Mac & Cheese… this is where having so many wonderful readers across the globe is quite amazing. Someone actually sent this to me after I saw them post a picture of it on Kraft’s facebook page (Thank you Flo!!!). This box of Mac & Cheese is available and sold in a special imported “international food” section in a grocery store called Tesco. The box clearly states that it is from the US – specifically “Northfield, Illinois.”
On the label of Kraft Mac & Cheese there are 2 different warnings:
Warning #1: This Product May Cause Adverse Effects On Activity And Attention In Children (This warning label is required because The US version of Kraft Mac & Cheese has artificial food dyes yellow #5 and yellow #6 which are proven to be linked to hyperactivity in children.)
Warning #2: GMO Declaration: Made from genetically modified wheat. (May contain GMO) (This warning label is required because the US version of Kraft Mac & Cheese contains GMOs.)
Please note: It is uncertain at this time who places these warning labels on products once they are imported into the UK and this is something I am still investigating. I know it is not the grocery store themselves and not Kraft, but likely the importer/distribution company.
