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.

You didn’t list how much of each item! What kind of bread. You’re probably one of those cooks who just throw things togther and it works! Not realizing some of us need ‘exact’ detailed instructions.
Does this mean the Euroweanies aren’t thankful for utylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT)?
I’ve never tried that.
Just take another COVID booster and you will be just fine. I no longer have any faith in what the Gov. agencies tell me.
There are U.S. comfort foods that I would seek out if I had to be in another part of the world for an extended period. I love stuffing, but I wouldn’t miss the boxed version if I were overseas. Those folks have their own good food.
I did not see any butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) or butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) in that Wonder Bread ingredients list. It’s safe to eat—for now.
Back when I was a kid...they scared the hell out of everybody with the culprit being “cranberries”.
Of course, you only have to eat 27.5 tons of it to have any realistic chance of cancer developing...
First, I agree with you that FDA is no longer serving the people. However, the European government have found it very useful to label a common ingredient under its chemical name and say it’s cancerous, which technically it would be because 1/100,000 extra deaths would qualify.
However, it’s all about control of the food supply and working people towards a limited, but approved diet, while the elites get to dine on the finer things in life uninhibited. They want you to eat a diet of gruel for your supposed health. And they will accomplish this through salami slicing by removing an ingredient that makes a product impossible to make without it. Remove enough ingredients and products, as a by-product of the health policies, and all you will have left is gruel.
The European bureaucrats are not doing this for the health of the European.
Hard pass, I make my own stuffing
You for got the onion and celery saute in butter. Then mixed with the bread then add sage
Take 8 slices each of the cheapest white and wheat bread you find at grocery store. Cut each slice into 1/2 inch strips, lay out in a sheet pan. Heat oven to 250, put the pan in for about 40 minutes, rotate layers of the bread strips to dry out all of it, equally.
Brown up a 12 to 16 oz package of Sage breakfast sausage, breaking up pieces. Do not drain. When almost cooked, add 1 chopped onion and 2-3 stalks chopped celery.
Have some chicken stock or chicken broth, about 2 cups, maybe a little more.
Roughly chop the dried bread strips in a large bowl, add the sausage/celery/onion mixture. Use about a teaspoon each of salt, sage and poultry seasoning. Add the broth, starting with about a cup, stir to mix well. This takes a few minutes to know how moist it will be. Add more broth as needed. Bake in 350 degree oven for at least 30 minutes, first covered, then uncover the last 10 minutes if you like some crusty stuffing on top.
If you are making it with turkey, you can boil the giblets and then chop them very finely (I usually don’t use the gizzard), use the boiling water for your liquid.
I wonder if all those ingredients were in the Wonderbread in the 1950s when I ate a lot of it.
Yep. Add some fried onion, celery, and sausage, too. Moisten with the boiled giblet water. Stuff both cavities in the bird.
It’s our family recipe from 100 years ago.
Homemade bread has about 5 ingredients....
I’d wager that 99% offl the people freaked out by the ingredient don’t even know what the process of interesterification is or does.
Wait. Do people actually buy and make stove-top stuffing?
I thought those were just boxes that they put on the shelf that were permanent decorations.
I make southern pan dressing. Turkey gets a peeled onion stuffed into him and that’s it.
A basic cookbook is pretty cheap, and useful...
Cornbread dressing! Problem solved.
