I didn't know California is going through a ban with Red Dye 3, but I will say my nephew is literally restricted from it by his Doctors because it affects his seizures.
My daughter was allergic to Red 40 when she was younger. She grew out of it luckily. But hers was a serious allergy. Whole body would be hives and she would have to have breathing treatments. I didn't realize how much they put that in things that weren't even something you would think normally. We were on vacation and just wanted to get something quick and easy so we ran to the grocery store to just get some hotdogs. For some reason I checked the ingredients and of course it had Red 40. I was so glad I had checked. The crazy thing is that we got lucky figuring out she was allergic to it too. She had been having this reaction and couldn't find what she could be allergic to. She was only about 9 mo old. Well she had been eating some fruit loops and happened to spit one out and it was sitting on her arm. Next thing you know this huge welt from where it was touching her skin.
Definitely. From an outside view, the stuff that is allowed to be called food in America is shocking! Edit: oh man, that chicken looked absolutely vile! I have never seen chicken meat like that.
@@Uchiha.Itachii “Love” and addiction are two different things… this is like saying people just love heroin… especially if you have additives that cause you to overeat like livestock… fun fact look at Saudi’s Arabia that fell in love with American fast food. The rise of overweight and obesity has been particularly alarming in Saudi Arabia-The rate has nearly doubled over the past 50 years. The estimated number of people with T2DM in KSA will increase substantially from around 555,000 in 1992 to approximately 7.4 million by 2022.
Capsaicin is literally the thing that make food "burning hot spicy" The best remedy against that is cold milk. The sugar, fat, and protein in the milk will help wash away some of the capsaicin. Swish the milk like a moush wash.
milk isnt actually that great as its actually, on average, 87% water. Believe it or not, key lime pie is the best remedy for heat. Or a mix of drinking a lime simple syrup with honey and then a spoonful of peanut butter.
My dad swears by olive oil. I've tried it a few times when i overestimated my spice tolerance and, idk, maybe we're just fooling ourselves but I think it works?
As someone who is obsessed with the type of Buldak stew and eats one every month, I can say that the best thing to help with the spicy is something acidic like pickles, that’s why most mukbangers have something pickled in their videos.
Lol, my country banns everything 😂 we do have very strict food controls, though, for which I'm honestly glad. They also control if companies try to lie with their consumables. Like, when they say their olive oil is extra virgine, they literally test it if it's true. They even control the labels etc. Like, if the company says their olive is from some specific province in Italy, they check the legitimately. I ordered some twinkies to test from amazon before though..lol. But, you can get other products from hostess in special shops that sell stuff from around the world.
most states have already banned hormone pumped food, so don't get deceived by just the label "no hormones added" and look at the other things labeled. Food education is just as important to financial education, everyone take care of yourselves as must as you can! :)
1:57 Part of the reason they likely say it may not cause harm is because we can't do testing on humans, and sometimes rat and mice studies are wrong! Not in that they contain incorrect findings, but that they sometimes are not applicable to humans. It's important to remember still we are two (or three) separate species, and there are differences in our morphology that will create different results in tests. I was in a behavioral and neuro genetics class this past semester, and we were shown an actual example of how these rat/mice studies may not be accurate to humans, as the example we saw the results for humans and mice were complete opposites of each other. (If people have any interest in that study, I can go back through my notes and see if I can find it from there)
A little known fact for US chicken consumers. Chicken raised and sold are not allowed to be on hormones. As is with any US farmed poultry. No hormones is a marketing thing. They were banned being used in to 50's. Articles and even in the USDA FAQ this information is seen.
Fun fact: Capcasin is what you find in all chili peppers 😂 higher the the scovile unit higher is the amount of capsacin [watch nile red make pure spicyness]
My issue is that they won't replace Red Dye 3 with beet extract or annatto and will replace it with Carmine or cochineal extract (those are cheaper). That's crushed up bugs that live on the agave plant (the same one for agave sweeteners and tequila). I have an epi-pen for it because the allergy is that severe to it and wasp stings.
And when you find a brand that does use beet and annatto, it's some waspy organic extra expensive health food brand that charges 20 dollars for a package of 6 cookies.
so i live in scotland, irn bru is amazing, one of my favourite drinks. my dad used to clean carpets for a living and he hated having to do irn bru stains because they were the hardest to get out. once they dry in, there's so little chance of getting it out XD
Kraft stated changing their formula years ago since buying yellow 5 and yellow 6 got more expensive. Kraft is trying to get rid of food dye from their products. The only reason i know this is my sister is allergic to all these dyes. She gets an anaphylactic reaction
If I have to add shredded cheese to Kraft mac and cheese to make it taste like it used to, there is a problem. I'll make my own m&c and save the hit to my nostalgia.
capsaicin isnt that much of an issue. you are a lot more likely to just have some stomach issues at worse rather than any sort of identifiable nuerotoxic effects.
My boss's son was having severe psychological issues and eventually out of desperation they cutout red dye after his wife read an article of an experiment in I think Australia. His issues went away almost completely. That stuff is not good.
I'm in the UK. I remember always wanting to try Twinkies. Until I read the ingredients. GMO preservatives, syrups, tallow and bioengineered oils. How they even make it to the shelves as food is beyond me. If you don't know what the ingredients are, DONT eat it!! ❤
Red 3 to 5 are banned pretty much anywhere in the EU. They were linked to hyperactivity and concentration problems in children in the 90s and basically all sodas are now coloured by natural extracts. UK Fanta being coloured by Carrots and natural pumpkin colourings.
About the chicken: it is added a lot of saline water in the cheaper one that you bought, that’s why have that looks. It is not because of the chlorine wash.
Its chemical spice not naturally occurring nothing about eating this daily is healthy for you . Most Koreans are eating balanced meals alongside this type of ramen
There are so many American products banned in Canada due to health and safety concerns. It's funny how we're neighbours but can vary so widely. I once went to a grocery store here in Canada and over the poultry section they had a sign painted which said something like "unlike American chickens, Canadian chickens never have growth hormones added to their feed!". Apparently growth hormones for meat, poultry and dairy are almost entirely banned here save for a few exceptions for cows.
We loooooove buldak noodles, but we never do the full packet of sauce cause it's too much. We often add a bit of (coconut) cream and eat it with roasted, salted peanuts and scallions :D
dude capsaicin just makes it spicy, it does not actually kill anyone as long as you are not allergic to it or hypersensitive to spice. It's not harmful.
I get everything on that list, but the hot noodles with Capsaicin. I mean, they warn you, that they are hot. By that logic, every spicy food should be banned and that would be pretty sad. I had the three times hot noodles once, they had a package with powder and that sauce, which was nearly black. I used all of the powder (it was mostly flavor and not very hot) and just a third of that sauce package and that was pretty spicy, but ok. I gave the rest to a colleague, who loves really spicy food.
Buldak is weird in that it's so spicy it's almost painful and somehow that makes it even more tasty. I recommend having a glass of cold milk or cream on the side, and taking a swig in between bites. Alternately, one can make their own Buldak by combining gochujang, pepper flakes, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, pepper powder and thereby control the heat.
I think the point of boxed mac and cheese is that you don't need to do any extra steps, if you are in a rush or too tired. Can do a regular mac and cheese otherwise :) thank you for spreading awareness of those toxic dyes! (and other ingredients). We eat Spicy noodles, but only 1 - spicy, 2 spicy would be too hot for me.
I think her way is a lot easier bc it's everything you would normally add w the exception of the shredded cheese and it's all in one pot so no need to drain!
Why do they need so much time to reformulate some basic food dyes? Just replace them with non-banned alternative dyes. When the dye is even needed in the first place.
I recently ordered Irn Bru online, not knowing that the UK had required products to reduce the sugar content and so Irn Bru replaced some of the sugar with aspartame. I checked the label and they've removed the ferid oxide and Hano 4r, but now it has Yellow 6! Not exactly an improvement...
I'm so glad that they're banning those garbage chemicals. No wonder I have a million health issues - I grew up on that crap. Now I'm disabled & I cook everything from scratch...but I may be too far gone.
If I’m not mistaken, the ferric oxide in IRN-BRU (pronounced iron brew) is what we call “rust.” Ferrum is the Latin name for iron and oxide is when a matter reacts with air. I might be mistaken, but it makes sense considering the name of the product.
Banning buldak for containing capsaicin is a bit weird to me. What might be usefull is a warning that it might be too spicy or can cause nausea if not used to spicy foods. I tried to find capsicin concentration compaired with chilli peppers but could find it (if someone soes please share). It is true that capsaicin is a "neurotoxin" because it can reversibly inhibit pain receptors. reversibly means they need a while but they get their full function back. Capsaicin is used to numb neuropathic pain (pain caused by nerve damadge) but it needs quite a few applications and the pain comes back after one to a few months. So what I am trying to say is I doubt that these noodles are more dangerous then a very hot pepper.

Being from Austria it was funny hearing "banned in Austria" for every item, lol. But I'm glad these things are banned, it's not worth exposing kids to food colorings that will literally affect their brain function when natural dyes are available.
Argh. Unfortunately for me, what I'm allergic to is turmeric (curcumin) which means that every time they do these reformulations I have to learn a whole new set of stuff I can't have anymore. I am so tired of turmeric getting added for color to things.
Capsaicin is just what makes your food spicy, I never heard of it being dangerous, just to those who are unused to spicy the next day will hurt bad 🤣. Too much of anything is bad, some people do love it spicy as heck though.
i am mostly shocked about pez. Pez is from Austria, and we don't use those toxic ingredients here - Austria has even stricter regulations than most other EU countries. And yet, in the pez produced in america those ingredients are there.
It's surprising. The Austrian and the international Pez websites state "no artificial colors" and don't mention those dyes in the ingredients, so I am really puzzled that American Pez has this stuff.
Because of the bans everywhere (my country didn't ban anything to my knowledge), the buldak stew one doesn't get imported anymore ( no buldak ramen is, actually. Even carbonara) so istg im on life support at this point 😭😭
I'm sitting here with my Dr. Pepper and had to check the ingredients, no BVO in it thank goodness. I'll never understand Stovetop Stuffing, I won't eat it again after becoming violently ill after the only time I tried it. My Son was born with migraines but we didn't get an official diagnosis until he was 4. I had to be a wise shopper when buying ingredients to make our meals. Of course, his grandparents would give him food he was supposed to avoid which caused some friction between the in-laws and myself. Now he's an adult and he knows what to avoid but he still makes poor food choices.
That’s good news!! Maybe they’re starting to phase it out! So sorry for your loss hear about your son. It’s so concerning and sad what is in our food these days!
Look...the US FDA doesn't give 2 craps about what we ingest..the only reason why certain things are brought up is because people complained long enough...if you care about your health like you say you do, you will stay away from grocery stores & grow/harvest your own food. Japan has some of the safest regulations when it comes to food/beauty. Would be nice if the US did too.
I like that California and other jurisdictions are at least giving the companies a period of adjustment. That's pretty crazy stuff regarding PEZ. I'm not surprised by the meat products that are banned in some countries as the EU is VERY stringent when it comes to these things. Let's just say the chaos caused by things like Mad Cow and Foot and Mouth disease has made them vigilant. As a Canadian I remember when KD removed the offending food coloring. A LOT of people lost their cool over it but honestly as we saw in this video the noodles look pretty much the same. I gotta try that KD hack though! Also vegetable oil in soda.....That's just WEIRD! That Orange Drop looks like nuclear pee!
I am really wondering how I survived my childhood.Eating all the foods, sitting after birthday partys in the trunk b/c there were not enough seats and oh on eastern the homemade eggnogg in chocolate cups from my grandmother? yep... 💀
I can’t even eat the off brand Walmart Mac n cheese anymore, not sure when I noticed the weird taste, but I’ve had to switch over to the actual brand. Not sure why🤔 maybe once I got pregnant I thought it was gross? It happened to chicken nuggets, milk, and I think packaged ham. So who knows. This was a fun video to watch. I love most of these foods (some I haven’t heard of though)
Irn Bru = Iron Brew No idea why it's spelt like that. Maybe a Scottish viewer could answer that question. Thankfully Australia has a lot of these food additives banned already.
Imagine developing and spending money on all the artificial nonsense when the taste and colour already exist in nature. As a South African who has visited the US (great country and love the people) it does feel over processed, and everything tastes sweet.
I eat the buldark spicy noodles quite often, they are not banned in the country I live in, even have a few packets of the X 3 spicy ones in my larder. Great product.

My issue is that they won't replace Red Dye 3 with beet extract or annatto and will replace it with Carmine or cochineal extract (those are cheaper). That's crushed up bugs that live on the agave plant (the same one for agave sweeteners and tequila). I have an epi-pen for it because the allergy is that severe to it and wasp stings.
And when you find a brand that does use beet and annatto, it's some waspy organic extra expensive health food brand that charges 20 dollars for a package of 6 cookies.
Will they do it for food? I know they use to crush beetles for makeup but I think many don’t do that anymore (at least newer ones).

As a European the pasteurised chicken definitely looks like the chicken we have here, the regular chicken looks so weird especially texture wise
I’ve seen BHA and BHT in Jenny O ground turkey and their sausages I don’t know if they still use it or not because I stopped buying them years ago.
BHA and BHT are in a fair few dry breakfast cereals too 🥣
Being from Austria it was funny hearing "banned in Austria" for every item, lol. But I'm glad these things are banned, it's not worth exposing kids to food colorings that will literally affect their brain function when natural dyes are available.
Argh. Unfortunately for me, what I'm allergic to is turmeric (curcumin) which means that every time they do these reformulations I have to learn a whole new set of stuff I can't have anymore. I am so tired of turmeric getting added for color to things.
Yeah..they removed the yellows..and added natural ingredients such as annato, turmeric & paprika.
I looove buldak noodles but the trick is to not add all the spice - just as much as u can handle 💗💗💀
Canadian here. Irn Bru isnt banned in Canada. Been buying the import for many many years.
Capsaicin is just what makes your food spicy, I never heard of it being dangerous, just to those who are unused to spicy the next day will hurt bad 🤣. Too much of anything is bad, some people do love it spicy as heck though.
Me getting here in 3 minutes is crazyyyy 🤣🤣
You da best!!
i am mostly shocked about pez. Pez is from Austria, and we don't use those toxic ingredients here - Austria has even stricter regulations than most other EU countries. And yet, in the pez produced in america those ingredients are there.
It's surprising. The Austrian and the international Pez websites state "no artificial colors" and don't mention those dyes in the ingredients, so I am really puzzled that American Pez has this stuff.
I’ve always hated stuffing 😂😂😂😂
Because of the bans everywhere (my country didn't ban anything to my knowledge), the buldak stew one doesn't get imported anymore ( no buldak ramen is, actually. Even carbonara) so istg im on life support at this point 😭😭
wow with the pez because in south africa we don't have coloured pez pellets.
I'm surprised you found Sun Drop...I don't think they sell it in my state anymore because I haven't seen it for years...
I used to work a a chicken plant it’s all same plant but different grade of meat and they put it in different packages
I'm sitting here with my Dr. Pepper and had to check the ingredients, no BVO in it thank goodness. I'll never understand Stovetop Stuffing, I won't eat it again after becoming violently ill after the only time I tried it.
My Son was born with migraines but we didn't get an official diagnosis until he was 4. I had to be a wise shopper when buying ingredients to make our meals. Of course, his grandparents would give him food he was supposed to avoid which caused some friction between the in-laws and myself. Now he's an adult and he knows what to avoid but he still makes poor food choices.
That’s good news!! Maybe they’re starting to phase it out!
So sorry for your loss hear about your son. It’s so concerning and sad what is in our food these days!
Buldak is great but I gotta say the spicy cheese one is easily their best stuff.
I'm from Jamaica and nothing is wrong with Ackee
Raise your hand if your from Jamaica
The PEZ candy in my country has no colour, like barely. I was surprised when i saw how colourful those ones were in California 😮
I'm not sure why they need until 2027 to reformulate food products with Red 3 - it's already banned in the EU and Del Monte sell the fruit cups there.
I remember hearing a lot of crap in the news about kids getting sick over the spicy noodles. So just bad parents being dumb.
Look...the US FDA doesn't give 2 craps about what we ingest..the only reason why certain things are brought up is because people complained long enough...if you care about your health like you say you do, you will stay away from grocery stores & grow/harvest your own food. Japan has some of the safest regulations when it comes to food/beauty. Would be nice if the US did too.
I like that California and other jurisdictions are at least giving the companies a period of adjustment. That's pretty crazy stuff regarding PEZ. I'm not surprised by the meat products that are banned in some countries as the EU is VERY stringent when it comes to these things. Let's just say the chaos caused by things like Mad Cow and Foot and Mouth disease has made them vigilant.
As a Canadian I remember when KD removed the offending food coloring. A LOT of people lost their cool over it but honestly as we saw in this video the noodles look pretty much the same. I gotta try that KD hack though!
Also vegetable oil in soda.....That's just WEIRD! That Orange Drop looks like nuclear pee!
Seeing the peez is so crazy for me from Sweden, I’ve also grown up with peez but ours are like white or light yellow with no artificial flavors
I am really wondering how I survived my childhood.Eating all the foods, sitting after birthday partys in the trunk b/c there were not enough seats and oh on eastern the homemade eggnogg in chocolate cups from my grandmother? yep... 💀
So is it only going to be in CA? If yes will they make special ones for CA? Hmmm
"I made Cousin Young go away". @7:28 she sent FIRE!!!! Miss her!! You shoulda had her try the banned food, not Dzung!
I can’t even eat the off brand Walmart Mac n cheese anymore, not sure when I noticed the weird taste, but I’ve had to switch over to the actual brand. Not sure why🤔 maybe once I got pregnant I thought it was gross? It happened to chicken nuggets, milk, and I think packaged ham. So who knows. This was a fun video to watch. I love most of these foods (some I haven’t heard of though)
Irn Bru = Iron Brew
No idea why it's spelt like that. Maybe a Scottish viewer could answer that question. Thankfully Australia has a lot of these food additives banned already.
I’m curious what you do with the products after you bought them :0
Like the sodas and the snacks
Sure they ain’t good but I hate to waste them 😅
Pronounce the Irn in Irn Bru like “iron.”
The x2 spicy is so good. Sometimes, I save up the sauce packets to use more 🤣
Unripe ackee causes non ketotic hypoglycemia
Hey Honeysuckle, a spoon full of honey will put out the fire in your mouth.
Imagine developing and spending money on all the artificial nonsense when the taste and colour already exist in nature. As a South African who has visited the US (great country and love the people) it does feel over processed, and everything tastes sweet.
Scotswoman here irn bru is pronounced iron bru and was recently reformulated
I eat the buldark spicy noodles quite often, they are not banned in the country I live in, even have a few packets of the X 3 spicy ones in my larder. Great product.
I have them SO MUCH- and I had no idea about this😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
OMG, in Russia PEZ is only white🤯 I've never eaten PEZ of a different color😱
Man, I love Stove Top. It's worth it. lol
I mean having it occasionally probably won’t do much tbh lol
I haven’t had it recent, but I’m sure my Mom used it at some point
They been trying to ban red for the longest time
