Fast Food Surprises...

Not sure how many people still frequent fast food restaurants. I try hard to avoid them whenever possible. Here is an article on some of the surprises you may find in their food. Here is a part that jumped out at me

Along with many of McDonald’s sauces, both the cilantro lime glaze and the orange glaze contain propylene glycol alginate. While propylene glycol is considered "GRAS" for human consumption, it is not legal for use in cat food because the safety hasn't been proven yet [10]. Proplene glycol is also used "As the killing and preserving agent in pitfall traps, usually used to capture ground beetles" [10].


So it is not safe for cat food and is used to kill beetles, but lets put it on our salads? Don't just love the FDA...
