A popular Thanksgiving dinner staple in the United States is banned in several European countries and Japan due to two ingredients being linked to cancer.
Stove Top Stuffing, an instant boxed stuffing mix that is popular to have with Thanksgiving dinner, contains two ingredients, butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), that are “known human carcinogens and may cause other health problems,” Dr. Neha Pathak, MD, who serves on the Medical Team for WebMD explained to the New York Post.
The product is banned in the United Kingdom, the European Union, and Japan. Pathak explained that “these types of preservatives” are banned due to the “cancer risk.”
“A lot of countries have much stricter rules around what’s allow[ed] in food,” Pathak told the outlet.

This is what happens when you have public healthcare. It becomes the thin edge of the wedge to control what you get to eat.
That’s all right - we get our own back by banning authentic haggis from Scotland.
Much like so many items sold in the rest of the USA that are “Known to cause cancer in California!”
Cross the state line and you are safe!
Oh damn.
I ate that a couple Thanksgivings and Christmases.
I wonder how much you have to eat to get cancer?
Wait, no Xanthan Gum?
Interesterified soybean oil promotes weight gain, impaired glucose tolerance and increased liver cellular stress markers
Another Indian taking shots at an American tradition. Crap.
Yeah but they bring haggis over here so we’re even.
I saw where someone makes a vegetarian haggis. That’s just wrong.
It’s semi-permeable and not osmotic; like FlexSeal – only edible. I have found restaurants use it to keep fried mahi crunchy. It can also help keep the water out of your home if you are waiting on a building permit or insurance money.
I don’t eat wheat or any of the crappy ingredients listed here.
We’re going to a friend’s house for Thanksgiving and I won’t ear the dressing.
Thanks for posting this info.
Cut up some bread.
Add salt, pepper, melted butter, poultry seasoning.
Stuff it into the turkey.
No, the real fight is not about stopping you from eating Stuffing, just the butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) that some industrial food manufacturer put in your foods for THEIR, not YOUR benefit. (Probably also contains stuff like refined canola oil, bleached to remove the rancid taste, high fructose corn syrup, various food dyes.)
In the movie, John McClane asks the LAPD’s Twinkies expert, Powell, “What do they put in these things anyway?” Powell replies, “Sugar-enriched flour, partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, polysorbate 60, and Yellow Dye No. 5. Just everything a growing boy needs”.
wow, chemical city: the ultimate garbage “food”!
Bah!, never touch the stuff. Now if Mrs. Cubbisons corn bread box mix ever goes down in flames we have problems The Wife makes magic out of that after adding about 10 other ingredients.
but the ‘muh corporation’ worshippers say its great! “Muh corporation can put poison in the food and it’s all ok!” It’s your job to read the ingredients and decide if you want to buy it or not! “muh freedom!”
If it were up to the corporation worshippers, they wouldn’t even be required to list the ingredients
