Worms
found in chicken, KFC Kerala outlet sealed
http://www.hindustantimes.com/India-news/Kerala/KFC-outlet-closed-after-serving-chicken-dish-with-worms/Article1-942121.aspx
The
Thiruvananthapuram outlet of Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) was temporarily shut
down on Monday after live worms were found in the chicken served to a
customer. Shiju Abdul Basheer had
ordered a dish of fiery chicken. But when his wife cut a piece to feed her little
daughter, she found worms wiggling in it.
The
restaurant staff apologized and offered to replace the dish. “When I refused,
they tried to take it away forcibly. Then, the other customers intervened and
alerted the police and the food safety officials,” said Basheer.
Basheer
and his brother, who had some of the chicken earlier, showed symptoms of food
poisoning when they reached home. They had to be hospitalized.
The
authorities raided the outlet and seized bags of chicken that were four to five
months old. “We have sent 13 samples for
examination. The outlet can’t open till the reports come,” said an official of
the food safety department. The incident comes in the wake of a clampdown on
unhygienic food joints, which occurred after a man died two months ago after
consuming sheverma (an Arab dish) in Thiruvananthapuram.
On Monday
night, the KFC outlets in Kozhikode and Kochi were raided. “It is impossible
for worms to stay alive in chicken pieces fried at 260 degrees Celsius. We
don’t know how it happened,” said M Najeeb, manager of the Kozhikode outlet.
No one
from the KFC franchise in Thiruvananthapuram was available for comment. But on
Tuesday, a press release by them said, “We are providing full cooperation to
the ongoing probe. We are committed to serving quality products to all our
customers.”

Worm found in McDonald's burger
http://digitaljournal.com/article/320770
An
international branch of McDonald's in Finland served up more than one customer
wanted in his burger. The customer discovered a live black worm lurking in his
burger slathered sauce.
Vuotias
Helsinkiläismies, 22, treated himself to a take-out two euro burger from
McDonald's. When he arrived home and unwrapped his hamburger he made a
disgusting discovery as the worm crawled out of his food.
Voice
Finland reported that the man immediately contacted McDonald's to complain. The
branch manager apologized, requested the offending burger and its worm returned
to the restaurant, and offered him a credit for the McDonald's meal of his
choice. However, Helsinkiläismies decided it was not worth spending 2.7 euros
on the bus-fare to return for another burger.
Instead he
has sealed the worm inside the burger and popped it inside his fridge until he
has the opportunity to return the tainted food to McDonald's. Helsinkiläismies
considers it lucky that he spotted the worm before eating it and now hopes the
restaurant will focus more on quality control.
MSNBC sent
a Dateline team to check if "America’s top 10 fast food chains are clean
and safe." Amongst their rather unpleasant discoveries they found a worm
in a Wendy's salad, making Wendy's a choice to avoid if the Finnish man decides
to take a State side trip.

WHAT PEPSI AND OTHERS DOING TO
ENHANCE TASTE
What You
Don't Know About Flavor Enhancers Can Harm You
The
receptors are made from HEK293 -- HEK stands for Human Embryonic Kidney cells,
with 293 denoting that the HEK was from the 293rd experiment. HEK293 originally
came from a healthy, electively aborted baby whose cells were then harvested
and cloned.
"Senomyx's
salt taste, savory flavor, and sweet flavors -- as well as all their other
flavor enhancers -- are purposefully developed so that they stimulate your
taste buds without them actually tasting anything ... Much like MSG, these
flavor enhancers operate on the neurological level to produce these reactions
...
Since they
are not actually ingredients but rather 'enhancers' they are not required to be
listed in a package's ingredients except as 'artificial flavors' ... [And]
because very small amounts of the additives are used ... Senomyx's chemicals
have not undergone the FDA's usual safety approval process for food
additives."
It's no
secret that most processed foods contain a variety of "artificial"
and "natural" flavors intended to make you crave a certain brand of
chips or cookies over another. But what is largely unknown to most consumers is
that a new variety of food additive is already on the market and probably in
some of your favorite snack foods.
These new
additives are unique because they are not flavors at all. They are chemicals
that contain no flavor of their own, rather they activate or block taste
receptors in your mouth. The chemicals can mimic or enhance the taste of sugar,
salt and monosodium glutamate (MSG), for example.
Amazingly,
these flavor-altering compounds are used in small amounts (less than one part
per million), which means companies like Senomyx do not have to go through the
Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) approval process typically necessary to
release food additives. Instead of the lengthy FDA process, the compound only
has to be classified as "generally recognized as safe" (GRAS) by the
Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association --
a process that can take as little as 18 months, with a mere 3 months of
safety testing on rats.
"Unlike
artificial sweeteners, Senomyx's chemical compounds will not be listed
separately on ingredient labels. Instead, they will be lumped into a broad
category -- "artificial flavors" -- already found on most packaged
food labels."

Cancer a Man Made Disease
Cancer is
a disease of modern time which is causing havoc and no one is spared from it.
Even the 4 heads of states of Latin American Countries are facing it at the
same time. One of the leader and President of Venezuela Hugo Chavez said it is
planted by American.
Apart from
these discussion cancer is one of the most deadly disease, it can wait for some
time, you live 5, 10 up to 20 years but death is sure once it caught. The research and experiments shows it is
purely a man-made disease. It is purely
depends upon life style and eating habits of the people and there is only one
way to stay fit and i.e. change your life style.
Tobacco is
one of the most important causes of Cancer and everybody knows about it and
governments are trying to control it by different means, most importantly
putting warning on every pocket that it will cause cancer. Making laws not to
smoke in public and prohibiting its sale to under-age. Nothing is working, is
an issue. The sale and consumption of tobacco related products are increasing
day by day and cost of tobacco related diseases on health care is increasing
day by day.
Bhutan is
the first country in the world to ban all types of tobacco sale, soon late us
hope every country make same law.
I am
talking about the known things and people those products of which peoples are
aware of. I am talking of those of which most of the people do not know and
consumes. Government and policy makers do not want to talk about.
Should the
Cancer Warning be made on every product which contents the chemicals causing
the cancer?
The real
issue is unsuspecting people eating cancer causing products. Junk food contains additives and artificial
flavors which increases toxic load and can cause cancer. Cancer is basically
caused by the life style and continuous exposure to chemical causing cancer
including which are present in food.
Pepsi and
other Producers are using artificial chemicals and flavors which can cause
cancer. Even though it is mandatory to
put label they are avoiding it by using different gimmicks.
Mountain
Dew Can Dissolve Rat
In one of
the interesting case which is prejudice in USA, a consumer which complaint
that; he has found a rat in his Mountain Dew Can. The lawyers of the company
are arguing that, it cannot contain a full rat because; it has chemicals which
can dissolve rat. There is no issue a rat can come all the way into can.
This is
very strong chemical which consumers are drinking without knowing what they are
drinking and this can cause them many diseases.
Food Additives Increase Your
Toxic Load
Cancer is,
by and large, a man-made disease caused by a highly unnatural lifestyle and
continuous exposures to excess chemicals, including chemicals in your food.

While drinking Mountain Dew, have you ever seen (or perhaps felt on your
tongue) a thick, jelly-like substance? Maybe you assumed the ingredients in the
soda had gelled. According to Mountain Dew manufacturer Pepsi, you may have
been ingesting some extra protein with your beverage in the form of a liquified
rodent.
Quench
your thirst with some chemicals
NaturalNews
has reported many times in the past on the health dangers of soda, including
the fact that Mountain Dew and other fruit-flavored beverages contain a flame
retardant chemical
(http://www.naturalnews.com/034448_brominated_vegetable_oil_soft_drinks_chemical.html).
The bright green color of this soda obviously derives from food colorings, many
of which also have negative health consequences.

Cancer
warnings
One has to
wonder if this warning would drastically affect the sales of these
beverages. Don’t cigarette packages have
dire warnings with disturbing graphics printed on their labels? Have not other food products also been
linked to cancer, such as aspartame and other synthetic sweeteners and food
additive products. So what is it and is
there a real concern over 4-MEI?
