Tartrazine, saccharin, BHT, and sodium nitrate: typical ingredients you will find in foods in a stroll down any supermarket aisle. I have always pondered about the effects of such additives that are prevalent within food. One would think that the long-standing existence of such substances would validate their safety, yet, I remain doubtful due to the controversy and safety concerns of their usage. During my middle school years, while on a school-run food interest trip, I was enlightened to the significance of ingredients and nutrition in foods. One of the activities was to differentiate between freshly squeezed fruit juice and artificially flavored fruit drinks by scrutinizing the ingredients and nutritional labels as well as by taste testing.…

Over the past decade the United States has made efforts in keeping food safe for the consumer. Specifically by enacting the 2011 Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) amended the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic act.1 Since nearly 80% of food supply in the U.S is controlled by the FDA,1 preventable problems arise daily including food-borne illnesses and contaminated food. Shortly after these reoccurring events, consumers convinced congress to put into effect a law that requires food safety practices to be implemented by the food industry. 1 FDA became responsible of preventing food safety problems by effectively detecting and responding to food safety issues while improving the safety of imported foods.…
Because of more additives having cons then pros, food additives in food products justify that they need to be avoided for caution of the unsure effects they may have on people’s bodies. To start off, these chemicals added to…
The purpose of this experiment was to explore the vast applications of eggs. Eggs are used as foams, binders, thickeners, and emulsifiers. The multiple uses enable eggs to be made into custards, souffles, and hard cooked or soft boiled eggs. One experiment conducted was comparing the effects of the cooking time for hard boiled eggs. Another experiment conducted was seeing the effects of cooking scrambled eggs in hot and cold oil, a double broiler, and the microwave.…
These processed foods can cause a plethora of health issues including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, blood clots, clogged arteries, heart attacks, seizures, allergic reactions, obesity, headaches and asthma. All these factors contribute to a decreased life expectancy, high medical bills, and a complicated life. To ensure a healthy future, the government must provide better information about the contents in these processed foods. From a young age, we cram foods into our bodies that destroy us from the inside out. We worry about the pathogens we may be consuming like salmonella or E. coli instead of the chemicals and preservatives like BHA and azodicarbonamide.…

Describe your educational and career goals and explain what or who has inspired or helped shape these goals. During my high school years, I recall working in the fields during vacation breaks with my mother harvesting tomatoes, picking up cherries, and pruning grape vines. Fascinating as it sounds, I was always intrigued to understand why fruits and vegetables spoil or often cause food poising in humans. Although, when I questioned my mother why these fruits spoil, she responded it was due to "little bugs," which was not a sufficient response.…
