Tehrene Firman, content director of Brightly, a discovery platform for eco-conscious consumers, said that while unnaturally dyed foods and hormone-packed meats are the norm in the United States and not something most people think twice about, many of the foods Americans eat on a daily basis are actually\u00a0banned in countries across the globe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here is a short list of\u00a0food additives found in almost every type of American food<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 banned in Europe but legal in the United States.<\/p>\n

The consuming public is largely unaware that artificial food dyes are made from petroleum and have been banned in many countries.\u00a0The Center for Science in the Public Interest<\/em>\u00a0(CSPI) released a report that says artificial food dyes pose a \u201crainbow of risks\u201d \u2013 including everything from allergies to cancer, and consumption of artificial dyes has increased five-fold since 1955.<\/p>\n

Red-40 (E129)<\/strong>, also known as Allura Red, is banned throughout Australia, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and most of Europe. It is one of the most commonly used artificial food dyes in the U.S., found in beverages, candies, cheeses, meats and many other goods.<\/p>\n

A study published in the journal\u00a0Frontiers in Microbiology<\/em>\u00a0found that high consumption of Allura Red causes\u00a0adverse effects on human health<\/a>, including allergies, asthma, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), brain damage, cancer, cardiac disease, food intolerance, multiple sclerosis and nausea due to reaction to aromatic azo compounds.<\/p>\n
