We’re living a golden era for food, am I right? There’s plenty of food from all corners of the earth, endless supermarket aisles offering everything sweet and savory.
All that glorious food sounds too good to be true, and it’s because it is. There are many nasty secrets behind the food we’ve grown to love; some are real health concerns; others are simply disgusting. Some are just bad for the planet, and others are only bad if you’re a picky eater. Here are 10 foods you will never touch again after knowing this.
Bottled Parmesan cheese
That green bottle of Parmesan cheese we all have in our pantries holds a rather unusual secret. Authentic Parmesan cheese should only be made of milk, rennet, and salt, the rest is time, as cheese ages to gain its delectable flavor and aromas.
Bottled ‘Parmesan’ cheese is not parmesan, and it’s not only cheese either. There’s lots of cellulose in that bottle; it’s used as a filler. And if the component doesn’t ring a bell yet, it’s also known as wood pulp.
