44 ingredients banned!

I have some exciting news to share… 

The grocery chain ALDI announced they’re banning 44 processed ingredients from all of their store brand products by the end of 2027. 

And when I saw the list, I was thrilled because the Food Babe Army has been raising the alarm on these additives for years.

This is proof that when we vote with our dollars, food brands and retailers are taking notice. We truly are changing the marketplace every time we shop!

Some of the nasty artificial ingredients they are removing…

BHA: Classified as “possibly carcinogenic to humans.” Shown to cause DNA damage and tumors in animal studies.

BHT: Linked to oxidative stress and DNA damage in lab and animal studies.

TITANIUM DIOXIDE: Shown to cause DNA damage in studies. Banned in food in the EU.

AZODICARBONAMIDE: We successfully petitioned Subway to remove this (banned in Europe and Australia) from their breads in 2014, and most other bread manufacturers in America followed suit. This chemical is linked to cancer because when the Azodicarbonamide is baked, it can form semicarbazide (a carcinogen) and urethane (suspected carcinogen).

ACESULFAME POTASSIUM: Artificial sweetener. Animal studies have reported tumor findings, and lab studies show DNA damage, both considered warning signs for cancer risk.

See the full list ALDI is removing here!

Keep demanding better from every grocery store and every brand – because this is what happens when we do.

Please share this good news with everyone you know on Instagram and Facebook. 

Your activism is helping to make this happen!

Selling Fast! Truvani’s Protein Variety Box

I just got a photo from our team, and I had to share it with you immediately:

As you know, we launched the Protein Variety Box on Truvani’s website yesterday.

But apparently, it’s already been flying off the shelves at Whole Foods… 1 box left!!!

This is exciting to see, but it's also a reminder that the online launch special won’t last forever:

25% OFF your first month + a FREE Plant Protein Starter Kit ($84.97 Value).

Shop Protein Variety Box

Why are people so drawn to the Protein Variety Box in the first place? 

It comes down to one thing: Variety is what makes healthy habits actually stick.

The same protein shake gets boring fast. But the Protein Variety Box gives you a completely different experience every day:

• Monday → Chocolate

Dark, rich, and smooth, like melted chocolate without the sugar crash. Not powder-y. Not watery. 

• Tuesday → Vanilla

Warm, creamy, like the inside of a good vanilla bean. Subtle enough to mix into anything, satisfying enough to drink on its own.

• Wednesday → Chocolate Peanut Butter

Like a chocolate PB cup. Rich chocolate base, real peanut butter finish, none of the guilt.

• Thursday → Strawberry

Bright, fresh, naturally sweet, like strawberries at the peak of the season. Tastes like summer in the Italian countryside.

• Friday → Unflavored

Disappears completely into your smoothie, your soup, your morning oats. Your food tastes the same, but 20g of protein shows up.

Try our new Protein Variety Box at 25% OFF for your first month and claim a FREE Plant Protein Starter Kit ($84.97 Value).

And yes, you can cancel anytime!

Big Win!!! But we’re just getting started

I have incredible news – and this is exactly why we fought so hard last week. 

I’m so thankful for all of you who rallied with us in DC and called your representatives, demanding that pesticide corporations not get a liability shield, because…

We did it! We had a big win! 

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna introduced an amendment to strip the pesticide liability shield from the House Farm Bill — and it passed with overwhelming bipartisan support late last week.

Pesticide corporations and the politicians who protect them are now on notice. We are watching every single move they make, and if they think they can get away with this, they are DEAD WRONG. We just proved that.

This is a movement of the people. It does not belong to any party. And every single representative in Washington better start paying attention – because we are not going away.

But the fight is now moving to the Senate, and we are already hearing there is an active push to put that pesticide liability shield right back in as early as late May. 

They are counting on our momentum fading. It won't.

We sent a big message in DC at the rally, and we are just getting started. 

Honestly, we didn’t know how it would all go down that day. 

We thought we'd get kicked out….

Watch what happened instead: CLICK HERE

Don’t ever underestimate the power we have.

Are you serving this at your BBQ? (please don't)

Growing up, summer cookouts meant white hamburger buns from the grocery store, Heinz ketchup, and a big bowl of Doritos on the picnic table. Nobody thought twice about any of it.

But now all I see is… what's actually in all of it. And what we're really putting in our bodies.

Here are 3 things worth looking at before your cookouts this summer:

1. The most overlooked source of toxins at your summer cookout is the bun

Flip over a standard hamburger or hot dog bun and read what's actually in it. Enriched flour. Soybean oil. High fructose corn syrup. Monoglycerides. 

It's the same chemical soup you'd find in any processed grocery store bread. And if the wheat is conventional (it almost always is), it's been sprayed with glyphosate (Roundup weedkiller) right before harvest.

You might have the meat part figured out: organic and grass-fed. And then you put it on a bun full of chemicals.

This is why we've been getting ours from Organic Bread of Heaven. 100% certified organic. No glyphosate, no dough conditioners, no additives that need a chemistry degree to pronounce. Their burger buns, hot dog buns, and slider buns are made with real ingredients, shipped to your door, and go straight into the freezer until you need them.

Use code FOODBABE to save 10% off your order.

2. Most condiments are a seed oil and sugar delivery system. 

Pretty much every condiment you’d put on a burger or a hot dog starts with GMO soybean or canola oil.

Even the ones that say they're "made with olive oil" often contain these seed oils too! 

Industrial seed oils have nothing to do with real food. 

Primal Kitchen is what's on our table now. Their mayo is filled with avocado oil, not soybean oil. Their ketchup comes unsweetened, without HFCS. The BBQ sauce and mustard are the same: clean ingredients, short lists, nothing hiding.

And honestly, I think they taste better.

Use code FOODBABE for 10% off Primal Kitchen.

3. Most chips are made from GMO corn sprayed with chemicals and fried in seed oils

Conventional tortilla chips, even the ones in the colorful "artisan" bags, are almost always made from GMO corn sprayed heavily with pesticides, and fried in canola or sunflower oil. 

Tatemada is what we put out now, and I'm not going back. 

They're oven-baked with no added oils at all. Made from certified organic heirloom corn using traditional nixtamalization, an ancient method that actually increases the nutrition and digestibility of the corn. 

The only ingredients you’ll find in these chips are organic heirloom corn, lime, Himalayan salt. Three ingredients. Nothing else.

The founder was actually at The People vs. Poison rally in D.C. last week...this is a brand that gets it and I love to support them. 

Use code FOODBABE for 10% off Tatemada.

Xo, 

Vani

P.S. If you're firing up the grill this weekend, the easiest thing you can do right now is swap the bun. Organic Bread of Heaven ships fast. Use code FOODBABE for 10% off and grab enough to stock the freezer.

P.P.S. At Food Babe, we only promote products we love to use. If you buy a product we link to, we may earn commission.

Watch the speeches! The People Vs. Poison Rally

When I got up to the front of the crowd to speak at The People vs. Poison Rally on Monday, I was so proud of every single one of you standing up with me. We showed the world how powerful we are when we unite together! 

Citizens from across the country, activists, lawyers, doctors, scientists, politicians, and farmers showed up and demanded People over Poison! Corporations poisoning Americans with toxic pesticides do NOT get legal immunity – we will not stand for it.

This rally marks one of the most monumental moments in my entire life. When I think about the world I am leaving my children, this is the fight that keeps me up at night.

I poured my heart out and made sure that every single one of our elected officials knows exactly where I stand and that this is the LINE IN THE SAND.

They will either stand with the corporations who are poisoning us, or with the people they represent.

Click Here: WATCH MY RALLY SPEECH

There were so many powerful speakers that you don't want to miss. Watch the full replay of the rally here. 

Please share the clips you'll find on Instagram here - and ask people to join our movement!

We rallied in Washington, but the fight is far from over.

Right now, the 2026 Farm Bill is headed to the House floor for a vote – and buried inside it are sections that would strip Americans of their right to sue pesticide companies for making them sick. Not just Bayer. Any pesticide company. If this passes, families who have been harmed would lose their day in court.

Good News: Your calls are already working. An amendment to remove these immunity provisions made it into the rule – but it still has to pass.

The vote is happening this week, so keep the pressure on.

Call your representative TODAY and urge them to remove immunity provisions from the Farm Bill: CLICK HERE

Thank you so much for telling your representatives that they need to stand for the People and not Poison! 

This is how we will win.

Tomorrow at 9am – watch it go down live!

Tomorrow morning I’m joining thousands of people outside the U.S. Supreme Court to say enough is enough. We do not consent to being poisoned by billion dollar pesticide corporations who are giving people cancer to escape accountability.

The People vs. Poison Rally starts at 9am on Monday.

Tune in here to watch it all go down live at 9am! 

The event starts at 9am  - I will be introducing the event. I’m going to pour my heart out, and you don’t want to miss it. 

We have an extraordinary group of activists, farmers, scientists, and health advocates joining me –  and I cannot wait for you to hear what they have to say.

I believe this is the fight of our lifetime.

We can't tell people to eat real food and then spray it with poison. We can't allow pesticide companies to get away with giving people cancer and have zero consequences.

If Bayer wins at the Supreme Court, it could legally shield thousands of pesticide products from lawsuits. And this is much bigger than this one case. Within days, Congress is set to vote on a Farm Bill that also has pesticide immunity provisions buried inside of it.

That is what is at stake.

This is history in the making. I am so grateful you are part of it.
