The biggest action against the food industry in history!

A groundbreaking new law going into effect in Texas requires processed food companies to take over 40 risky chemicals out of their products (including Artificial Dyes and Titanium Dioxide) within the next 1½ years…

Otherwise, they'll be labeled unfit for human consumption...

"WARNING: This product contains an ingredient that is not recommended for human consumption by the appropriate authority in Australia, Canada, the European Union, or the United Kingdom."

As you can imagine, food companies will do whatever they can to avoid that warning label...

So it's likely they'll reformulate their products without these ingredients, based on what they've already done in other countries. 

Texas is the second largest economy in the United States, and it would be a logistical nightmare for food companies to reformulate products just for Texas. This is why they're expected to do it for every state, so every American is benefiting from this legislation.

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to meet with Texas Governor Abbott and state legislators to make the case for why Americans need to know the truth about their food and how important this legislation could be for the health of this country.

I'm so grateful that the Governor agrees and officially signed the Make Texas Healthy Again Bill (SB 25) into law this week.

The list of over 40 chemicals includes many that the Food Babe Army has campaigned to get removed from our food including Yellow 5 and 6, Red 40, Blue 1, BHT, and Titanium Dioxide!

To illustrate how monumental this is:

Thousands of popular products lining grocery store shelves will be labeled unfit for human consumption if they don't start making changes right now...

  • Stove Top Stuffing with Interesterified Soybean Oil, BHA, and BHT
  • Kellogg's Rice Krispies Treats made with Acetylated Monoglycerides, DATEM, and BHT
  • Post Fruity Pebbles Cereal full of Artificial Dyes, BHT, and BHA
  • Mission Tortillas made with Bleached Flour and Interesterified Soybean Oil
  • McCormick Food Dyes filled with Propylparaben, Red 40 and Blue 1
  • Kellogg's Pop Tarts frosted with Titanium Dioxide
  • See more here!

This marks the beginning of the end of American food companies using ingredients they don't use in other countries. 

Our cries have been heard!! We deserve the same healthier ingredients that other countries get.

Make sure you share this GOOD NEWS on Instagram, Facebook, X, or forward this email to your friends and family. Go Food Babe Army, go!

Two major food companies removing ALL artificial dyes from products!

Bye Bye artificially-dyed Trix and Kool-Aid!

Yesterday was a big day...

First thing in the morning, Kraft-Heinz announces that they're removing all artificial food dyes from all of their products in the next 2 years. Also, they're not replacing all dyes with natural alternatives, but will completely remove added colors from products that don't need them. The fewer unnecessary substances added to our food, the better!

And then General Mills follows and announces the same! They will remove all dyes from their entire product portfolio by the end of 2027.

These are TWO huge wins for the Food Babe Army and every American who has been demanding this now for over a decade.

This would have never happened if the FDA hadn't set a timeline for food corporations to phase these dyes out, and now the dominoes are falling! I'm thankful for their leadership in pushing the industry to remove dyes and telling Americans the truth about these harmful chemicals in our food.

As I watch the food industry acquiesce and drop dyes, can't help but think of Kellogg's for being complete idiots who keep poisoning American children. Kellogg's could have been the first... but now they are the last. What losers.

The writing is on the wall now after the recent legislation signed in West Virginia that is banning artificial dyes from all food sold in the state, and several other states have pending bills to get artificial dyes and other additives out of our food. They really have no other choice than to drop the dyes. 

Here are the major products that will be reformulated without artificial dyes... so keep an eye on these ingredient labels for the changes:

Many of these products you may have never guessed contained dyes...like Jet-Puffed Marshmallows, French Salad dressing, and Jell-O Vanilla Pudding!?!

Kraft saw what happened when they dropped the dyes from their Mac n' Cheese after the Food Babe Army's successful petition. Removing the dyes was the best business decision ever and most consumers didn't even notice the change.

I'm on the edge of my seat, watching to see when Kellogg's, Mars, and every other major American food corporation finally announces they are done with dyes.

Looking forward to more American food companies to stop poisoning us with ingredients they don't use in other countries. This has been a long time coming!

Clean Food + Dirty Air = Health Sabotage

Right now, millions of Americans are checking air quality apps before stepping outside due to wildfire smoke blanketing entire cities. 

But here's what's shocking: the air inside your home could be 2-5 times MORE toxic than what's outside - even on those "unhealthy air quality" days!

Think about it... You're spending thousands on organic food, filtering your water, reading every ingredient label - but every breath you take could be sabotaging you.

Your indoor air is contaminated with:

  • Roundup herbicide - yes, you're breathing the same cancer-linked chemical that's in our food supply
  • Ultrafine particles that penetrate deep into your organs, increasing Alzheimer's and dementia risk
  • VOCs and flame retardants - hormone disruptors linked to cancer
  • Bacteria, viruses, and mold that keep you sick and exhausted

I used to think eating clean was enough. Then I discovered that without clean air, I was sabotaging my own health every single day.

Here's how to fight back and protect your family:

  • Ditch anything with synthetic fragrances, parabens, or phthalates
  • Swap plastic storage for glass and stainless steel
  • Clean smarter: damp cloth dusting, regular mopping, and frequent vacuuming trap particles before they become airborne
  • Add air-purifying plants like Dracaena and Bromeliad - nature's little detox machines for VOCs
  • Replace phthalate-loaded plastic toys with non-toxic alternatives

But the game-changer? Investing in the Intellipure Air Purifier.

Unlike basic HEPA filters, Intellipure's patented technology eliminates 99.99% of harmful viruses, bacteria, and microscopic toxins - it's 40 times more effective at capturing the dangerous particles that are sabotaging your health.

Get 10% off an Intellipure Air Purifier with code FOODBABE

Since I started using it, the transformation in how I feel and sleep has been remarkable. I can't put a price on knowing my family is breathing truly purified air at home.

We can't live in a protective bubble, but we can control what we breathe in our own homes.

If you know anyone suffering from with allergies, low energy, or constant sickness, please send this discount code to them. Let's help everyone breathe cleaner, safer air!

Want to eat more veggies? Try this (Great for kids!)

My secret weapon when it comes to eating more veggies?

DIP!

Especially when it comes to my kids, dips make it so much more fun to eat those celery and carrot sticks. 

But when I see the packaged dips from the store, the processed ingredients make my head spin...

Deans French Onion Dip: Skim Milk, Whey, Palm Oil, Water, Salt, Onion, Food Starch-Modified, Lactic Acid, Gelatin, Granulated Sugar, Citric Acid, Distilled Vinegar, Sodium Hexametaphosphate, Parsley, Potassium Sorbate (to Preserve Freshness), Carrageenan, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Hydrolyzed Torula and Brewers Yeast Protein, Hydrolyzed Corn and Soy Protein, Monosodium Glutamate, Locust Bean Gum, Soy Lecithin, Guar Gum. 

YIKES.

This is why I created simple dip recipes that I can quickly whip up at home, and you'll find them in my latest cookbook, Food Babe Family.

One of our absolute favorites is the Sour Cream & Onion Dip

It transforms any veggie from boring to irresistible.

This is the dip I love to make for parties too...

Your veggie tray will become the STAR of the party.

Kids will actually fight over the radishes (yes, radishes!), and the adults will keep asking for the recipe.

Give this a try and you'll see what I mean:

Food Babe's Sour Cream & Onion Dip Recipe

Makes 1-2 cups 

Ingredients:

  • 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced thin
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt

Instructions:

  1. Heat the oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onions and let them cook for 4 to 5 minutes.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients except the yogurt. Turn the heat to low and cook for 12 to 15 minutes or until the onions have caramelized. Let the mixture cool.
  3. In a bowl, add the yogurt. Once the onions have cooled, add them to the bowl and mix well.
  4. Serve with veggie sticks or desired accompaniment.

Pro tip: Skip the toxic non-stick cookware (coated in PFAS, PFOS, PFOA and PTFE). I use my 360 Cookware Saute Pan daily.

But here's what I REALLY want you to know – this is just one of FIVE incredible dip recipes in my latest cookbook.

I don’t leave home without this!

Crazy story…

I'm allergic to Neosporin. 

Neosporin once covered my body in hives and put me in the hospital. It was insane. 

So I've always looked for alternatives on how to heal my skin naturally, and I'm often asked what I use instead. 

I was recently introduced to a product called Active Skin Repair by my friend and our pediatrician, Dr Ana Maria Temple - and this stuff is amazing. 

I'll use it on cuts, and it has so many other uses…

  • I love using Active Skin Repair on mosquito bites - It keeps you from itching, keeps it moisturized, and helps it to heal and avoid a scar, which is really important to me. 
  • When I accidentally burn my skin in the kitchen, Active Skin Repair is amazing at helping it heal quickly without scarring. 
  • Last year I was using their spray on my feet because I had been doing a lot of snorkeling and walking around barefoot while on vacation, and nicked my feet in several places. After I used this product I immediately could feel the skin on my feet healing - even when I put on shoes that would hit right on the spots that I nicked. I didn't need to use Band-Aids! 
  • I also use it on my children's skin. My son used to get an eczema rash whenever he ate a certain food that he's allergic to, and Active Skin Repair healed the rash right up-very calmly, without any stinging. He didn't even notice when I put it on, which was great.

It's a natural healing product that utilizes no harsh chemicals, no petroleum, and no fragrance, which is a must for anything I put on my skin.

It's powered by hypochlorous acid (HOCl)—a molecule your white blood cells naturally produce to fight infection and support healing–killing 99% of harmful microbes without harming healthy cells.

I keep Active Skin Repair in my first aid kit and in my car, so I always have it handy.

Since I'm so impressed with how well this product has worked for my family, I partnered up with them to offer an exclusive discount for the Food Babe Army:

I hope you check it out and love it as much as we do.

Is your cookware leaching toxins into your food?

I need to ask you something that might surprise you: When was the last time you actually looked at what your cookware is made of?

You might be focusing on buying organic food and filtering your water, but what we cook our food in is just as important. 

Most conventional cookware contains hidden dangers that manufacturers don't want you to know about...

From non-stick coatings that release toxic fumes to aluminum that can leach into your food.

That's why I created this simple breakdown for you below to help get you get the toxins out of your cookware.

The Big 5 Toxic Materials in Your Cookware:

1. PFAS & PTFE (a.k.a. Teflon and "Forever Chemicals")

  • Found in most non-stick cookware
  • Releases toxic fumes above 500 degrees F
  • Linked to cancer, liver damage, and immune problems

Red flags: Any pan marketed as "non-stick" or "easy release"

2. Aluminum 

  • Leaches into acidic foods like tomatoes
  • Linked to neurological issues and Alzheimer's
  • Builds up in the body over time

Red flags: Lightweight, silvery pans that dent easily

3. Unlined Copper 

  • Copper toxicity can cause nausea and liver damage
  • Dangerous for those with Wilson's disease

Red flags: Bright copper interior (lined copper is safer)

4. Lead Glazes (especially in Ceramics)

  • Found in vintage or imported ceramic cookware
  • Dangerous for children and pregnant women
  • Lead poisoning affects brain development

Red flags: Brightly colored glazes, vintage pieces, imported ceramics

5. Cadmium - Hidden in Ceramic Glazes and Cheap Metal Cookware

  • Carcinogenic with long-term exposure
  • Could cause kidney damage, bone disease

Red flags: Metallic taste in food, discolored cookware

After doing this research, I made the switch to 360 Cookware – it's the brand I trust for my family.

They use surgical-grade stainless steel with no toxic coatings, chemicals, or heavy metals. Plus, they're made in the USA with a lifetime warranty.

I recently partnered with 360 Cookware because I genuinely believe in their mission to provide safe, non-toxic cookware that lasts a lifetime.

And yes, I use their cookware and bakeware every single day in my own kitchen.

If you're ready to upgrade to truly safe cookware, I've arranged an exclusive discount code for the Food Babe Army!

CLICK HERE: Save 25% off all cookware and bakeware with code FOODBABE at checkout.

You'll feel so much better knowing that the tools you're cooking with at home are safe for your family.

The President invited ME?!? The full recap

Last week, I was invited by The President of the United States to the White House to witness the release of the first MAHA Commission Report on the disastrous state of American health. 

And let me tell you…

It is filled with dozens of facts about the chemicals used in our food that we've been sounding the alarm on for years…

  • Artificial Dyes
  • Titanium Dioxide
  • BHT
  • Artificial Sweeteners
  • High Fructose Corn Syrup
  • Seed Oils
  • Glyphosate (Roundup)
  • Atrazine (Pesticide)

And Big Food and Chemical companies are going BERSERK. 

The truth was published in ink by our government.

Our food system is poisoning us, and we finally have leaders who want to make changes.

For years, we've been attacked for speaking out about food additives, agrochemicals, and how the Standard American Diet is killing us. 

And for years, our government turned blind eye. 

This is a vindication for all of us Food Babe Army! 

I encourage you to read the entire MAHA Commission report, but I put together some key take-aways from the report in a digestible format that is easy to share with your friends and family: 

CLICK HERE: Alarming facts about our food system that everyone needs to know

We have the worst rates of chronic disease than any other developing nation - if the rates can be reversed, this report will go down in history as being the catalyst for crucial policy making that will protect the American people instead of the profits of industry.

Pandora's box is open...

Share this with your loved ones. You'll also find these key takeaways on my Instagram and Facebook
