I am begging the FDA to require that companies CANNOT just put “spices” as an ingredient but have to label the spices.

“Spices” can mean “this has some oregano and black pepper in it” or it can mean “this has cumin cayenne and paprika and if you eat this you will be sick in bed in pain for a week” for me.

Seriously, this is an allergy issue and a huge oversight on the part of corporations.

Require detailed labeling of spices used in packaged foods NOW.

Also while we’re at it, can we nix the nebulous “essential oils” on toiletries ingredients lists? Because that sometimes but perhaps not always means lavender, which I’m allergic to, and clarity might allow me to be able to stop avoiding currently ambiguous labeling.

Can we also just… please out aloe Vera on labels as well??? The amount of times I thought a soap or hand sanitizer or lotion was safe and then I found out very quickly it wasn’t is atrocious (and yes, some do, but not nearly enough brands do this)

It sometimes feels like we’re about 10 years away from “Ingredients: stuff”

Corn. I want to know if there’s corn in foods. Fun fact! Some shredded cheese is dusted with corn starch to keep it from clumping, and if you don’t know to read the ingredients on FUCKING SHREDDED CHEESE, your lunchtime quesadilla may come with a delayed side order of migraine.
