@hormonespecialist: Wood is natural. Fire is natural. So why is Europe phasing out liquid smoke as a flavoring substance? In 2023, the EU's food safety authority re-examined eight liquid smoke products when their 10-year approval expired. Six contained DNA-damaging compounds, and the other two couldn't be cleared. All of them are now being phased out of the EU. In the US, liquid smoke has been sold since 1895 and was grandfathered in. It was never required to go through a modern safety review, and no public agency is scheduled to look at it. The proposed FDA rule exempts anything used before 1958, so it wouldn't change that either. Natural starting materials don't guarantee a safe finished product. Burning, roasting, and processing create new molecules. It's time someone was required to look. Sources for all my content are linked in my Social Media Notes. Do you think natural and/or artificial flavoring agents should require a new safety review after a certain time interval? How long?

in US chemicals are innocent until proven guilty against billion dollar companies, in EU there is REACH which requires the companies to prove that the chemicals are safe... .Ames a huge difference in quality of products sold in EU (on a side note China has higher safety standards than US).

taraschreiber359 :
In all seriousness, what do you think we can do as Americans to raise the standards of the foods we consume? If the FDA is unwilling to secure our safety, what can we do besides ban all foods or grow our own?

Thankfully we learned there are certain stages of use and we no longer use long processed liquid smoke in the US while Europe never changed their method.
