Deep dives

The Illusion of Safety in Food Processing

Many consumers are unaware that even food labeled as organic may still be subjected to harmful chemical processes. For instance, it’s common for meats to be cleaned with bleach or lactic acid during processing, which undermines their organic status. This practice is widespread in USDA-approved facilities, where cleaning methods prioritize shelf safety over organic integrity. Furthermore, instead of bacteria being the main culprit of foodborne illnesses, the real issue lies in the toxins introduced during food processing and raising practices, suggesting that unhealthy chemicals in our food supply are often misattributed to natural bacteria.
