Daniella Monet Instagram – Here’s a SECRET 👇🏼 Not all ketchup is created equal! it’s scary. Haunting even. 💀👻🎃And it’s unfortunately not just ketchup. SO many brands have different ingredients in the USA vs the EU. EU ketchup- Tomato puree 61%, vinegar, sugar, salt, spice and root extract (contains celery), spices. USA ketchup- Tomato concentrate from red ripe tomatoes, distilled vinegar, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup. salt, spice, onion powder, natural flavoring So why does the EU get the real ingredients while the US gets high fructose corn syrup and *possible* artificial flavoring? 🤯 why do they sell them in glass bottles a lot of the time in the EU but not as much in the USA? Regulations in the EU are stricter. These strict food regulations protect against possible, harmful effects that derive from artificial substances that are not banned in the USA. This is just one example, and I want to note that we aren’t saying that fewer ingredients are better, just painting a picture of how we can do better. Before I go over 8 ingredients that are banned in the EU but are not banned in the USA, ✨COMMENT “KETCHUP”✨ we’ll send you a DM of a Daniella approved (clean) ketchup brand! 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 K, let’s dive into it. The 8 ingredients. * rBGH (rBST) – Growth hormone * Ractopamine – Increases lean muscle in animal stock * Potassium bromate – Makes baked goods whiter and increases volume * Brominate vegetable oil – Used to keep flavors from separating in beverages * Olestra – Fat substitute * Azodicarbonamide – Used to bleach flour * Coloring agents – Red #40, yellow #6, yellow #5, blue #1 * BHA and BHT – Preservatives Is your mind blown? This fact has been living in our heads rent free for yearsssss. Also, I personally always opt for a ketchup without sugar. By comparing these two, I am not saying that the EU version is necessarily healthier. Remember, COMMENT “KETCHUP” 🍅 to get a DM with a link to a Daniella approved ketchup! 👇🏼🫶🏼
