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.

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!
