Have you heard about a group calling themselves “Americans for Ingredient Transparency” sounds like they are a group fighting for transparency in food labels…. Well, it seems not!
Firstly, they get their funding from 37 of the largest ultra-processed food companies in the country. They appear to be a group that is there to protect their funders interests (profits) by stopping individual states from passing laws that limit toxic additives.They want the FDA to control it all.
AFIT Backers Include:
- Coca-Cola
- PepsiCo
- Nestlé
- General Mills
- Kraft Heinz
- Tyson Foods
- Conagra Brands
Plus trade associations such as the Consumer Brands Association and American Beverage Association…
I don’t know, call me a tin foil wearing conspiracy theorist, but I think when an organization uses a name to try and hide it’s real intentions, I don’t believe they have our health as their goal.
