The FDA does take labelling of ingredients very seriously. It is one of the
only things they are good for. This doesn't mean they don't allow a lot of
questionable or harmful stuff to be put into products, it just means they
care that the labelling is accurate.

===================================

Unfortunately, there are many harmful ingredients that the FDA does not
require companies to list. For instance, MSG can be hidden by "yeast
extract." "Natural flavors" can actually mean "artificial ingredients," and
so on.

   I rely on labels, and do lots of checking myself on the side to ensure
that what I use is safe. Plus, I don't use manufactured (already prepared)
foods.
