There are soo many concerns out there...it is really hard to deal with it as a consumer.
All these nano technologies for food-related products might slightly help the bottom line...(slight flavor increase, slight improvement in shelf life..etc...) of some companies, but I am not sure those small gains are worth the risk to public health...and to mental health. The gains just don't seem important enough. We already are good enough at food preservation and production.
- username444 7y agoIt depends on the food - some with already long shelf lives would be fine, but other foods simply aren't meant to be around for long. But the public health isn't the concern of the food companies. It's putting out products that are shelf stable long enough to be sold. Period. Unless you see "Free of X", assume the company is using it (where applicable).
- gowld 7y agoThere are a near infinite number of molecules. Free of X says nothing about a nearly identical X’.
- SubiculumCode 7y agoYes obviously it is not the job of food companies until it is either the law or there is fear of hurting the bottom line: i.e.1)regulation, 2)companies get sued for damaging the health of consumers. The latter is really really tough to prove, so the former is the path that should be chosen.
