KRISPY KREME DONUTS UNDER FIRE OVER ULTRA-PROCESSED INGREDIENTS AND HEALTH CONCERNS

Americans routinely buy a dozen donuts at Krispy Kreme, but critics are warning about what’s inside. The Original Glazed donut is considered ultra-processed, with each donut containing about 190 calories, 11g of fat, 5g saturated fat, and roughly 20% sugar by weight. Ingredients include enriched wheat flour, palm and soybean oils, sugar, yeast, soy flour, egg yolks, dough conditioners like mono- and diglycerides, cellulose gum, maltodextrin, preservatives, and natural and artificial flavors. Concerns focus on refined and bleached flour stripped of fiber, seed and palm oils labeled by critics as inflammatory, artificial colors like Red 40 in flavored varieties, GMO-derived components, and added emulsifiers and preservatives used to extend shelf life. Health advocates argue consumers should be fully aware of what they’re eating before making it a daily habit.

Big Chocolate Moves to Lab-Grown and Gene-Edited Cocoa

America’s chocolate aisle is facing two major shifts: lab-grown cocoa and genetically modified cacao using gene-editing. California Cultured is growing cocoa cells in tanks, and it’s not alone—Lindt, Mondelez (Cadbury, Oreos, Toblerone), and Barry Callebaut are investing in lab-grown cocoa and cocoa butter. Barry Callebaut, a key supplier to Hershey and Nestlé, plays a major role in the industry’s supply chain. Meanwhile, Mars, maker of M&M’s, Snickers, Twix, Milky Way and more, has partnered with a UC Berkeley lab tied to CRISPR technology to edit cacao genes for disease and drought resistance. With global demand rising 3% annually, 70% of cocoa coming from drought-stricken West Africa, and 30–40% of crops lost to pests and disease, companies are turning to lab cultivation and genetic modification—raising concerns about long-term safety and consumer transparency as these products move closer to store shelves.

Dr. Dawn Michael says she used to soak strawberries in baking soda thinking it would remove pesticide residue, but now believes it does not help. She claims America’s main strawberry brand, Driscoll’s, uses up to 371 chemical pesticides, including substances described as mosquito spray and carcinogens. She also says the berries are lab-engineered clones, treated in fungicide baths, bleached with chlorine, and sealed in plastic so tightly that washing cannot remove residue. She adds that chemicals may seep into the fruit’s flesh and says a scan using the Totsy app showed high levels.

VIRAL VIDEO OF FARM WORKERS IN PROTECTIVE GEAR SPARKS DEBATE OVER PESTICIDE USE ON STRAWBERRIES

A viral video showing agricultural workers wearing full chemical protective suits while spraying strawberry fields has sparked widespread online concern about pesticide use in food production. The footage has fueled debate over whether commonly consumed produce is safe, with critics pointing to the high level of protection used during spraying as evidence of potential risk, while others argue that such gear is standard safety equipment required when handling regulated agricultural chemicals. The discussion has also revived public attention on pesticide residue concerns in fruits like strawberries and broader questions about food safety regulations and long-term health effects.

VIRAL CLAIMS ABOUT “MEAT GLUE” IN STEAKS SPARK FOOD QUALITY DEBATE IN THE U.S.

A wave of online posts is raising concerns among consumers about the texture of some store-bought and restaurant steaks, with claims that processed “restructured” meat products may be behind reports of unusually soft or mushy consistency. The discussion centers on enzyme-based binders sometimes used in the food industry to combine smaller cuts of meat into uniform portions to reduce waste and cost, which critics refer to as “meat glue,” while food safety authorities classify approved uses of such additives as regulated and permitted under federal guidelines. The debate has grown online as consumers question labeling transparency and differences in texture between whole cuts and processed steak products.

STRAWBERRY PESTICIDE REPORT SPARKS FOOD SAFETY DEBATE IN THE U.S.

A consumer advocacy report claims testing of conventional strawberries in Southern California found multiple pesticide residues, including chemicals described as PFAS-like “forever chemicals,” while organic samples reportedly showed no detectable residues. The findings have intensified debate over U.S. pesticide regulations, with critics arguing current standards allow potentially harmful exposures, while industry representatives maintain that all approved chemicals are used within legal safety limits set by federal regulators.
