After decades of feeding Americans industrial chemicals disguised as "food preservatives," the FDA is finally admitting what many have suspected all along: our food supply has been contaminated with substances also used to manufacture rubber and plastic.

The agency announced Tuesday it will review BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole), a widely-used preservative found in everything from breakfast cereals to snack foods. What they're not telling you? This same chemical is used in rubber and petroleum products.

Think about that for a moment, Patriots. While European countries have been protecting their citizens with stricter food standards, American families have been unknowingly consuming industrial chemicals with their morning cereal.

Trump Administration Pressure Forces Action

This sudden FDA "discovery" comes as the Trump-Vance administration pushes for real government accountability and transparency. With figures like RFK Jr. raising awareness about America's food crisis and Elon Musk's DOGE initiative cutting through bureaucratic BS, agencies can no longer hide behind decades of cozy relationships with Big Food.

The timing is no coincidence. For years, the administrative state has prioritized corporate profits over American health, allowing chemical companies to use our food supply as a testing ground while European consumers enjoyed safer alternatives.

"The American people deserve to know what's really in their food, not just what Big Food lobbyists want them to believe is safe," said one food safety advocate.

Europe First, America Last - Until Now

While the FDA finally catches up to European food standards, ask yourself this: How many American children have consumed these rubber chemicals over the past decades? How many health problems could have been prevented if our government agencies actually worked for the people instead of corporate interests?

The review of BHA is just the beginning. Under Trump's leadership, expect more uncomfortable truths about what the administrative state has been hiding about our food, water, and air.

It's time to put America First - including in our food supply. The question is: what other industrial chemicals are still lurking in your family's dinner tonight?

Finally some transparency from the FDA! Too little, too late though.

Absolutely disgusting! How many decades have they known about this and said nothing?

Probably since the 1970s at least. The deep state protects Big Food at all costs.

This is exactly why we started growing our own vegetables and buying only from local farmers we trust.

I've been saying this for YEARS! The government doesn't care about our health, only protecting their corporate buddies. No wonder cancer rates keep climbing.

Exactly! Follow the money and you'll find the truth every time.

My grandmother lived to 98 eating food from her own garden and cooking everything from scratch. Meanwhile my generation is getting sick from all this processed garbage with rubber chemicals!

Does anyone know if organic foods are affected by this too? I'm wondering if switching to all organic is enough to avoid these chemicals.
