Mona,
When you buy food at the grocery store, you should be able to trust that someone other than the company selling it has made sure it is safe.
But for decades, food companies have used loopholes that let them decide certain additives are safe without real FDA review. In some cases, companies can put ingredients into everyday products without even telling the agency first.
The risks are not always obvious right away. Some additives may cause harm that builds slowly over time, long after millions of people have already been exposed.
Families should not have to wonder whether the snacks, drinks, sauces, or packaged foods in their homes contain ingredients that were never seriously reviewed by federal regulators.
Corporations should have to prove their products are safe before they sell them to the public. The American people should not be treated like test subjects.
Add your name today to demand that Congress and the FDA close these loopholes and put public health ahead of corporate profits.
