Cereal Snack Mixes

Banned ingredients: BHA and BHT

Both of these preservatives have been found to increase the risk of cancer in animals, and BHA is “reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen” by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. You're also getting heart-unfriendly trans-fats disguised under the new name "monoglycerides."

Eat instead: When it’s party time, an organic mix will protect you from BHA and BHT, and then check the ingredients list to be sure it’s free of trans fat and gluten. Guests will enjoy the crunch of Mary’s Gone Crackers Sticks & Twigs Pretzels Curry, which are also Kosher.
