better than a shitty kung pao chicken made from a cat when you consider just how some
of your favorite foods are actually created some dark unappetizing secrets begin to unravel so to
keep your mind at peace and your stomach pleased here are 10 foods you'll never buy again after
knowing how they're made trust me when i say this worcestershire sauce we're sisters shirey now that
sounds fancy the notoriously hard to pronounce but savory sauce is a must-have in many american
households however aside from its odd name there are plenty of ingredients and processing qualities
surrounding the famous sauce that might make your appetite plummet next time you're presented with
a dish highlighting the sauce first off the sheer amount of anchovies packed into the stuff will be
enough to turn off some of the more squeamish less adventurous eaters out there this small smelly
fish is loved by some but absolutely abhorred by others what's even worse however is the story
behind how the sauce came to exist in the first place two chemists leia and parents had made a
prototype sauce and it was so terrible that they simply put it in their cellar and forgot about it
for months when they finally went back to look in on the sauce that had been sitting in the basement
they found something that was surprisingly delicious and what was it saturating in vinegar
pass yeah another audience splitting hefty ingredient that's sure to turn off at least a
few people out there for some of you however this will prove to be the tamest of our food-related
tales of caution so prepare yourself for what's coming next packaged meats everyone meet your meat
do you ever look at packaged meats in the grocery store and wonder how odd it is that meat cuts from
so many different animals look nearly identical the secret to the packaged meat uniformity
on grocery shelves goes well beyond simple preservatives and enters into non-environmentally
friendly and outright yuck-worthy territory carbon monoxide is key to keeping these packaged meats
fresh beautiful looking and colored with the expected shades of red we've come to expect
from many of our packaged meats especially when it comes to our main culprit ground beef fake
fake fake babe now at first the idea of carbon monoxide might seem like no big deal after all
we're exposed to it day after day right well here's where things take a disgusting turn think
about the last time you've seen spoiled or passed its prime meat it turns gray to let you know that
you should steer clear of it when a package is kept red hued with carbon monoxide however it
takes much longer for the meat to actually lose its color even after the meat has spoiled if this
fact grosses you out enough to scare you away from this type of packaging process for your meats in
the future be sure to watch out for any product containing the official label for this process
modified atmosphere packaging pringles we're on strike hunger strike you're eating potato chips
one of the most unique potato chip brands out there pringles has a place on many family shelves
across america the constant release of new flavors and the unique size varied packages help the chip
brand stand out from the competition in stores but here's the thing about the snack that leaves you
wanting to pop one chip after another into your mouth they are made using virtually no potatoes
trying to wrap your head around that is sure to warp your vision of the brand the corn products
and tons of artificial flavors used to make the famous chip snacks are mixed with powders that
help create their massive variety of flavors but are also packed with acrylamide which
is a known carcinogenic that has been under scrutiny due to its negative health concerns
yikes that's a recipe for disappointment to ensure your body palate and mind are kept at
peace consider grabbing another brand of potato chips during your next trip to the supermarket
there are tons of fantastic choices out there so it's time to branch out and find a brand that will
deliver real actual potato made chips packaged bread that makes you fat bread makes you fat
the saying that something is the best thing since sliced bread didn't just come out of the blue
it goes back to the amazement people had with the idea of getting fresh tasting more readily
available bread products outside of specialized bakeries but with every convenience in the food
world there is often some strange less appetizing secrets underneath the innovation why if you love
eating fresh baked bread you'll know just how quickly it will begin to go bad and become moldy
with that in mind many of you are likely wondering why is it that commercially produced loaves of
bread can sit on grocery shelves for such a long time without getting moldy the answer
an all-natural but pretty gross substance known as l-cysteine what is l-cysteine well to put it
simply it's a preservative synthesized from human hair which is brought into the food
processing industry in bulk from hair salons around the world so next time you're thinking
about going the easy route by buying sliced white bread from the grocery shelf instead of
the delicious fresh alternative at your local bakery remember that you're practically eating
yeast padded hair loaves talk about yuck grated parmesan now describe what you taste geez despite
its ability to elevate the flavor and visual yumminess of many meals from spaghetti to salads
parmesan has a reputation for looking off pudding from comparisons to sawdust to accusations that
it might not be cheese at all there are plenty of rumors surrounding the fancy delicious cheese
however the actual real oddities surrounding the manufacturing of grated parmesan are more stomach
churning and surprising than the more commonly assumed false secrets while it's not sawdust
your grated parmesan is likely to be packaged with lots of wood pulp one commonly used ingredient to
keep the cheese from clumping is an offshoot of wood pulp called cellulose while the idea of your
cheese being made fuller with tree by-product is already somewhat yucky there's a much larger and
financial reason that this process should put you off parmesan in the future you're getting ripped
off by companies that make the parmesan money money money money with lacks laws surrounding
how the product can be marketed and labeled even companies promising 100 real parmesan are likely
packing their products with enough cellulose to shave at least 10 percent of the actual amount of
real parmesan you'll be buying canned mushrooms i am going to have a fillet with mushroom sauce now
for most of you the idea of mushrooms is already likely to be controversial some people adore them
and some people will avoid anything that even has a trace of the vegetable sticking to it but
for those who love both mushrooms and convenience your pantries are likely to be stocked with plenty
of canned mushrooms just waiting to be added to your next pizza pasta or grilled chicken dish the
variety of dishes you can elevate with the right type of mushroom is nearly endless after all but
after learning more about the process that goes into canning and preserving mushrooms you just
might put in a bit of extra effort to get some of the fresh stuff next time you're cooking with
this versatile fungi in this case we are opening a literal can of maggots that's right your canned
mushrooms can be packed with up to 19 creepy crawlies per 100 grams as per fda regulations
while not harmful for consumption the knowledge of what could be lurking inside these canned
mushroom products will be sure to scare you away from the product for good marshmallows
what is this glutinous monstrosity before me there's an especially odd nature to marshmallows
which are typically presented as a giant white mass of delicious fluff but often come in more
fun variety shaped styles as well everyone is almost certain to have a memory or two of roasting
these bad boys around the campfire hopefully with some quality graham crackers and chocolate
to complement the marshmallows perfect but there are some sinister icky qualities to the actual
process behind making these beloved fluffy puffs the main ingredient in marshmallows is gelatin
which you'll recognize as a key part of many candies and jell-o products however did you know
that gelatin is made using the crushed boiled and then dried bones of animals when you're
eating marshmallows you're essentially eating a pulverized skeleton composed of horses cows pigs
and who knows what else take the marshmallow for what it is and its fun gooey appearance and taste
suddenly becomes sinister for the vegetarians out there who are unaware of gelatin's origins
this is sure to be extra disgusting chicken nuggets chicken nugget i like to eat you while
i drive despite being fun shaped and incredibly popular chicken nuggets are beyond gross
in both how they are made and in how they affect your body you'll notice when looking at the name
nugget that it's not terribly specific about what exactly it is that you're ingesting unlike
the drumsticks thighs and wings that we're used to seeing when looking at other poultry products
the nugget is a sort of amorphous substance and an often delicious one of that for many out
there you'll have likely seen the surge of viral videos showing the pink disgusting paste that your
favorite nuggets are crafted from but the odd dark secrets associated with the creation of chicken
nuggets does not stop there when you realize what's in the nuggets you'll begin to realize
why branding and labeling tends to shy away from being too upfront about the information
alongside a hodgepodge of whatever meat is left over from chicken processing plants the nerves
bones and connective tissue along with many other creepy bits are packed into the gunk that
eventually becomes formed into a chicken nugget they may be perfect for dipping but in the future
make sure you ask before you buy your favorite nuggets after all while all nuggets are not
created equal it might be nice to know just what exactly you're covering in that delicious honey
mustard sauce practically anything red red vines anyone we're a twizzler's family did you know that
the color red is scientifically proven to increase appetite and hunger with that in mind it's no
wonder that some of your favorite sweet treats and sugar-filled drinks are given a red appearance in
addition to looking delicious the bright vivid hue of red colored products is much more likely
to get your attention among competing products at your local grocery store but despite the flavorful
lovely feelings that red hues might unlock in your mind there are some stomach churning processes and
ingredients that allow foods and beverages to take on this naturally rare color in this case the
key ingredient that's unlocking these bright hues might even make your skin crawl once it's revealed
the key ingredient that's likely to make your stomach ache bugs tons and tons of bugs
what the most commonly used red dyes for food products are made using a process
that's been around for almost 500 years which uses insects found primarily in south america
to achieve the intensely saturated reds we're used to in fact nearly 70 000 bugs go into each
pound of this commonly used dye if you want to avoid ingesting literally thousands of insects
next time you're enjoying a red colored treat watch out for products that contain
natural red four and carbine as these are some of the most common names for this ancient
but somewhat unsettling dye ingredient jelly beans the only green bean i ate was a green jelly bean
maybe it's the fact that they're shaped like beans or the almost neon colored hues they
often present but there are few delicious snack foods out there that look more unnatural than
jelly beans however as is the case with many of the other beloved food products on this list
jelly beans hold their own dark secrets when it comes to just how they're mass produced and put
on the shelves to satiate our sweet tooths the offending ingredient this time shellac
a commonly used clear finish used to add a gloss and beautiful look to wooden furniture if you're
used to keeping your house flashy or you've taken a woodworking class in the past you're likely to
be intimately familiar with shellac beyond the yuck factor involved with eating beans covered
in furniture cleaning products the way shellac is harvested and crafted is sure to turn your
stomach as well and once again it's likely to make your skin crawl that's right once again your
favorite snack is crafted using tons and tons of insects in this case the female lack bug and more
specifically the secretions it leaves behind after drinking sap from trees if you want to
try and keep your favorite jelly beans appetizing maybe try to rebrand the secretions as a type of
