You're Eating Foods Banned In Other Countries! 

My brother was diagnosed with esophageal cancer in 2019 and had a feeding tube put in when he could no longer swallow. The first ingredient was corn syrup. I fought so hard to get him on the organic feed. The insurance dietician treated me like I was stupid saying they have that to all their patients on feed tube. The insurance finally approved one week after he lost his battle to cancer. 😡 Shame on (Nestlé) and other companies for the garbage they sell to feeding tube patients

I lived 20 yrs in Denmark, and 20 years in the US...same brands tastes way different depending on where you are...thanks for bringing this to light 🙏🙏👍👍

It's extremely bad and frustrating how big our grocery stores are that are filled with mostly junkie-crap.

I’m American Mexican and I always tell people that like nestle powder(strawberry, vanilla or chocolate flavored) to buy it from the oriental aisle because it has better ingredients than the one in the cereal aisle.

I lived in Germany for 8 years ( thank you US Army) and lived the food safety measures the EU places on the food industry...no food dyes, no tilapia, no brominated vegetable oil...it was awesome. This is a great video. Thanks!

I’m so glad I found you. You are literally saving my family’s life. We have completely changed the food in our house. I can’t believe the stuff I was feeding my kids :(

We need a Bobby approved grocery store!! 💙

This has always bothered me, thank you for exposing this!

I visited France a few years back. Ate bread and other yummy goods and never had reflux, the whole time there. Came back home and thought I would die. I eat mostly organic food, but still have digestive problems. I think there is some illegal stuff going on with our so called organic foods.

How can we demand better from the FDA? I'd love to see a video about accountability.

I moved to Japan 10 yrs ago and foods don't have artificial colors!!! No red cakes, no candy that make your tongue blue, it's rare to see colorful sprinkles but they're made with natural colors!

US food corporations and pharmaceuticals are in the same team...

I made the shift decades ago when my friend had to take me for groceries. He looked around and said "I don't see any food here." Even big brand chocolate bars sold in "2nd world" countries were so rich and satisfying, unlike the crap they sell to the USA. I honestly think the US gets the waste products after they make the good stuff for countries who won't buy inferior products, ie beer, chocolate etc. Even Ikea USA has cheaper-made, lower quality (flimsy) furniture than in Europe. I mentioned this to an IKEA worker last week who was from Eastern Europe and she said it was absolutely true. Our government needs to protect the US people.

Very interesting. I am German, and i happened to have Heinz Tomato Ketchup in my fridge. On my label ist says that it is made from 174 g of tomatoes per 100 g ketchup, 50 % less sugar and 50% less salt than regular Heinz ketchup and the ingredients are tomatoes (174 g per 100 g of product, vinegar, sugar, salt , spices. Since we don't have the "serving sizes" on ours , only the kcal etc per 100 g I actually broke it down to the serving size indicated on yours, which is 1 tbsp (17 g), so here goes: Kcal:10,88 fat: 0 g total carb: 2,94 g thereof sugar: 1,87 g protein: 0,238 g salt: 0,153 g Indeed a big difference. Now on the breakfast cereals Germany looses out, we don't have all these sugary things. We have some, but very few (all american expats complain about it), we are more a "Müsli"-country, you can find so many variations of it (Müsli = granola). But mind you, many of them also have too much sugar (for Germany's standards, probably still less than American granola - I assume). But like in the US, also in Germany and probably all of Europe we have grown more and more conscious about the ingredients, flavorings, colorings, sugar etc. I think it's a good thing. Very nice video!

They are literally poisoning us. This is honestly very depressing. But thanks for making these videos and spreading awareness.

I moved from the UK to the US 30 years ago and was so shocked at the inferior food in the US. It seemed like everything in a packet, jar or bottle was adulterated. Full of artificial ingredients. European foods are much better.

Bobby is out here really changing lives. Thank you, man.

When I visited the US for a holiday I ended up losing weight as I couldn't eat most of the food. Anything packaged tasted like a sugar bomb to me. It didn't even taste like a 'real' or natural sweet flavour, it almost had a synthetic taste

I cared for a child that was allergic to red dye no.5. I had to read ingredient lists for everything she ate. While she was in my care at sunday school, another teacher tried to give me food, and I had to stop them before she ate it. The child was upset, but her parents were grateful that I stopped her.

Keep educating us Bobby. Thank you!!!!! Let’s keep America sick so they need medication and doctors......ugh no thank you.

Great video. I’ve been telling people about these ingredients for 25 years, people still eat them. Then they wonder why they are fat and sick.

Very true. America sells garbage and dangerous ingredients and chemicals to their own people. I was born and raised in Europe and during the first few years after I moved to the US I was shocked to find out how bad the food here is and I was struggling seriously with stomach cramps, discomfort, bloating, digestive problems, nausea. It took years for my body to get used to the food in America. I try to eat healthy but I don’t feel healthy at the same time.

You missed the Propylene Glycol in the Chick-fil-A sauce. Its basically antifreeze

This is so true. People in America should know that things that they sell you in the stores some or most things are banned in Europe or even in Canada. Be careful.

I live in the UK, I think because we have the Universal Healthcare system, if people get sick, it will be the government to shoulder the cost so definitely prevention is better than cure, whereas in the US if the people become sick, its thier problem and business for the Healthcare & pharmaceutical sector.

So true .. i am from trinidad and we follow the American way of food .. Bobby has highlighted a problem that has always rang in my mind . People when you buy these things you are DOWNPAYING on health problems for you and your family. Go organic or just make simple meals at home . Trust me . Live green people !🌏🌎🌍

We need to boycott these foods. If people don’t buy them they will change and put safer ingredients in their products.

My daughter brought home some cereal, when I flipped it over I read (in small print, not on the ingredient list) that it was a bio engineered food!!!! How in the world are our food suppliers allowed to market and sell frankenfood food here in supposedly the most advanced country in the world Thank you Bobby for teaching us to read labels and check ingredients Unbelievable what’s in “food” products 🤦🏼‍♀️

I used to have carpel tunnel syndrome and did research and found out that yellow number 5 was one cause, checked products and pain stopped.

This man is a life saver!! I wish I was educated on these type of things growing up!

This is why, when you're shopping at Walmart, you see so many Ghoulish/Crazed-looking/Zombie-like shoppers. Look in their carts and you'll see the "Grim Reaper's" shopping list.

We need to start a petition to ban these bad ingredients Bobby.

Oh my I never even thought about dye in cough syrup. Thrive market here I come

I knew about Mt. Dew. Years ago a foreign exchange student that was staying with friends told us that it was banned in Denmark.

This is so true. I have noticed that every time I’m in Europe, I eat various foods including pastries and I’m fine but when I eat similar foods here my body doesn’t react the same way and sweets….I just smell them here and gain 20 lbs!!! We use way too many preservatives and chemicals in our food here in the US. Very different overseas

Those sodas 🤮🤮 Water all day long. People need to read labels, get informed and take charge of their own health!

I have a love/hate relationship with this channel. I love all the info and I'm really soaking it in and making alot of good changes but hate it because it exposed me to all the bad foods I've been eating and loved lol

Thank you Bobby for this valuable info! I love that you love what you do! I'm 50 yrs old and still don't know what I want to do when I grow up, but you've definitely found your passion and I'm super grateful you have this channel and teach us ALOT! Thank you thank you thank you! God bless you and your family, and Art! 😘❤💙❤💙

I cut out all pop/soda since the pandemic began and I feel way better! I also switched to Sprouted bread, cauliflower pizza crusts and lots of other foods from this channel all during the pandemic. I love this channel ❤ and its super informative and educational.

Profit before people's health...makes me sick (literally).

Is it any wonder that we have more children on the Spectrum than ever in history. As a teacher, I could tell if jello or punch was served in the cafeteria. This goes to another point - What is the excuse for the poison they feed our kids in school?

I'm from the Bronx but I live in Rome. I can't imagine eating American food after living here for over a decade. People in the US don't understand they are not eating real food. They're eating corporate genetically modified products masking as food. They put a sponge product in American bread used in yoga mats😳I buy fresh bread from the bakery every morning. And you wonder why people in your country are sick with cancer, diabetes high blood pressure etc🤯

Omg I clicked so fast. BHT caused seizures in our German Shepherd. It's in Milk Bones. His seizures stopped when we cut those bad treats out

Thank you for doing these videos! I’ve learned so much over the past years watching all your videos. I’ve changed the way I cook and always look out for those bad ingredients. Also Slowly I’ve stopped buying the bad stuff for my kids and give them better & healthier choices. Keep those videos coming. Much love from Texas ☺️

I came across your channel a few months ago. Started reading labels and following your advice. In 5 months I lost 30 pounds and my blood pressure returned to normal. Thanks for the advice.

i've lived abroad in spain the last 3 years and it's crazy how fresh the food is!! i remember one of the first things i had was canned chickpea soup (tired and just arrived airbnb dinner lol) and i was so shocked at how homemade it tasted i couldn't believe it. no weird chemical sounding ingredients in almost everything here. even junk food like cheetos has actual flavor. the european heinz ketchup is defintely better. much richer tomato flavor and not coyingly sweet. it's really not fair that corporations can do what they do but they have money and wield politcal power to write laws to protect them. hopefully we the consumers can change that in the future

The best food is homegrown if at all possible, and homemade with exclusively one ingredient items. No mixes, no fancy packaging. Just the way your great grandparents would have eaten. 🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳

I live in Germany and when I saw that Coke bottle I frantically checked my little Coke bottle next to me and was glad relived to see that it uses Sugar instead of Corn Syrup. One thing that I noticed when my brother brought candies from his trips to the US is, that sweets are a LOT sweeter than what we are used to here in Germany. I have a sweet tooth but when I ate American chocolate I could really taste nothing but sugar and some odd flavoring, I think it was Hershey's, it really didn't taste anything like the chocolate I'm used to. That is not to say that I've such a perfekt diet, I'm just slowly beginning to eat smarter and I just started pretty recently to do so.

The caffine in Coke ( and most sodas and energy drinks) is also make from Coal tar, which i believe is a byproduct of natural gas. Oh and look up a Coke label in Mexico, it's awesome. On the label they don't recommend it for children and stress that it has excess sugar

I love when Bobby is talking to us about something and you see Brad just chilling in the background. Like he's waiting to move on to the next thing. 😂 I started watching him years ago because I love little Rosie but I can't help but love this whole family!

You shouldn't suppress coughs!! That's your body trying to move excess mucus. Most often extra mucus and coughs are caused from seasonal allergies. If you suppress the cough the mucus sits, causes infection, and makes you sicker for longer.

So good to keep being reminded and educated about US food standards. Crazy how food prices are soaring and people are paying so much money to poison themselves. Thanks for pointing out how Hunt's offers a better option minus the high fructose. I haven't drank soda or electrolyte enhanced drinks in years. In the US it's all about false advertising and selling making top profits for cheap ingredients that harm your body. Keep it up Bobby and Brad.

I am learning so much from your videos. I was aware of dies and BHT preservatives and all the documentaries exposing the food industry. I am grateful you give us options to substitute. Thank you so much!

Omg, you named a lot of foods that I still eat…thank God for your channel. I’m making a change and I’m so grateful I have help from your videos. Thank you!

Money is more important for them & not our health. That's sad. Is there a way we can change this Bobby.

You would think the opposite is true since we are a more advanced country but when profit comes first then it makes total sense. Thanks for sharing.

Interestingly, for artificial colors, the opposite happened with Irn-Bru from Scotland. They couldn't export it to the states because of a couple controversial dyes, one of which is "Ponceau 4R." Since 2002 a different formula has been available here, but the drink is still hard to find without ordering it online (or attending the Highland Games here in Portland.)

This video reminds me how different the food was in Italy living there 2008 to 2021. Please do an Italy comparison video in the future. They don't use the junk allowed in the USA in do many foods. It feels like paradise.

Food Babe has been amazing at getting companies in America to remove harmful chemicals and to expose all of them!

The food coloring is very noticable in children. My son wasn't allowed candy until he was older. The first time he ate red licorice he projectile vomited, then I noticed that when he had a red freezy he became very difficult he was usually a very easy-going Sweet child but when he ate the red freezy he was angry and difficult from that point forward I only let him have the clear freezies and have warned other parents about the red dye. Red dye can be the cause of behavioral issues in children.

Thank you for your hard work!! Blessings to your family💜

You’re an angel just saving lives everyday! My grocery cart was literally empty after watching your videos because I was doing it all wrong. I watched many of your videos and rewrote my entire grocery list and I’m not deprived just wiser. God bless you! Thank You!

Well Bobby has once again shown how important it is to read the label...

You’re a Great Guy thank you for your very important Health information you should run for FDA office to represent us the population and our Health May God Bless you keep up the Great work...

This channel was key in helping me prep to get through the ‘world situation ver 1.0’ -now I keep buying those kinds of safe products, which has been easy to do since during world situation ver 2.0, people are buying all the junky foods-so all the healthy ones are still in stores. Ty for all u do guys! Going to check out Thrive Market now.

As always fantastic video filled with fantastic eye opening and important information 👏🏼👏🏼. Thank you very much for doing the work to spread a great message with great information 🙏🏼 much love!

Thanks for raising this important issue Bobby. I moved back to the UK last year after 15 years in Chicago (ironically in Lakeview - on Oakdale - so I get homesick for Chicago & TJs whenever I see your older videos!) I downloaded your app when I lived there, so it shocked me how many things you warn about, we just don’t have in the UK. For example, when I moved back to Oxford, I kept looking for grass-fed/finished meat - only to realise almost all meat over here is grass-fed, which is why it’s not written on the labels. It’s the default. Same with chlorinated chicken and GMO. We literally don’t allow them here. I still have to look out for many dodgy ‘natural flavourings’, oils & preservatives, so your app is open constantly - but it’s sad to know the FDA isn’t protecting its own citizens. Glad to know you are, though... :)

In Canada they just mention "Colour" on sports drinks. Another way to hide the ingredients.

I am so happy I found your channel. Now I actually read ingredients before I buy anything. Thank you for keeping us informed. I share your videos with my friends all the time as well. I think people need to make some lifestyle changes ASAP especially the American consumer.

Thank you so much for making these insightful videos I watch you all the time. Please never stop posting

Bobby which foods are good for long term storage in long-term food preps? Could you please do a video on that?

Thank you! Thank you! Finally someone did a video on this. Could you do another video for other foods that seem healthy but contain those harmful ingredients? A lot of the things are junk foods, and I think most people who follow/subscribe to your channel probably don’t eat/drink that. Keep up the great work!!! I really appreciate your efforts in educating and warning us about the constant food traps we have to maneuver and try staying ahead of the new ‘IT’ harmful ingredient used in our foods. :)

Wow....you gentleman are awesome!! Thank you SO much for sharing!!❤️

Thank you for all the videos! The videos are very helpful and informative. Since 2015, I had my left kidney removed do to cancer. I looked at the labels and had no idea what to look for, but now I do. For the most part I stay away from boxed, canned, frozen foods, sodas and sports drinks. Now I realize I need to check condiments, and personal care products as well.

I'm from the UK but now live in France, when I visited the USA I thought things tasted weird but I couldn't put my finger on it, now I know why. Great video let's hope the powers that be might make the same changes in the USA that they have here. They already know how to do it

Well done! Lots of great info here. Keep bringing it to us...you are saving lives!

Thank you for taking time out to do this eye opener.

Now I finally understand. Growing up in Germany Fanta was my absolute favorite drink in the world then I moved to the states and at first I didn’t even recognize the Fanta I wondered why the Fanta in Europe was a light yellow color but here it’s this dark orange color and it tastes horrible here compared to the European version so now I know it’s because the European one had natural color hence why it was so light and here it has artificial color hence why it’s so dark and the other huge difference obviously that I did know about before is that over there it’s made with sugar here it’s made with high fructose corn syrup. On the very rare occasion I drink soda these days it’s only if it’s the pepsi made with “real sugar” it’s so sad that here it has to be a selling point to say it’s made with “real sugar”. So the end result of the American Fanta being so much more synthetic is that it tastes nowhere near as good as its European counterpart which is nowhere near as synthetic.

Thanks so much for these videos, and keeping us informed! Huge fan always!!

I learn so much from your videos. It is so upsetting how all these things are banned elsewhere but still here because they cut costs and that a lot of people don't realize it. After watching this video I noticed one of my work snacks had BHT. The snack I am eaten is commonly given to kids in school. So frustrating

Thank you all these great videos!

I'm sharing your videos to my family. Thank you.👍

Thank you, Bobby for always giving us great, much needed information! Blessings 🌷

Really love your advice. Thank you so much for sharing with us.

I am. I was just diagnosed with diabetis. No knowledge at all abt what i can eat n not eat. Started following Bobby and learning. Thank you, Bobby. So much more to learn.

In the past 4 days I've been watching your videos I've learned so much .Thank!

Bobby, Thank you for all of your review videos! Before I found your channel, I liked to think I have a fairly good grasp on the good and bad. But you have educated me a lot and influenced my grocery shopping immensely. Plus, I share with friends & family as much as they will listen. 🙂

Who else is grateful for FLAVCITY?

Hi! Thanks so much for helping and educating us.

I am def grateful for this channel.

Awesome video. We need to spread more awareness to people of what they’re eating and drinking!! The fact that they allow these harmful chemicals in our food is absolutely sickening (literally) thanks for sharing! Always love your videos! ❤️

How outrageous, people putting money before other's health. 😡

Thank you so much for sharing about this 🙌🏻☺️

I love these videos! Always makes me feel better and fun to watch. On the flip side in my head I'm like " what is aka healthy!? What can I eat!"

Awesome, love your videos! I think bvo is what musta caused my hypothyroidism, I used to drink a lot of mountain due growing up! Wow wish I had these videos when I was younger. Great job on these videos a real help for the public! God bless you

Thank you flavecity, I learned so much and changed my way of shopping.

What an awesome channel !! So happy to have found you

Thank you, thank you, Bobby!! I appreciate your knowledge so much.

I don’t understand why this video hasn’t gone viral.
