7 Products You Need to Avoid in Supermarkets

Last Updated on January 7, 2021

Marketing is such a great business since you can put almost anything into a pretty package and many people will buy it eventually. Most of the time, we don’t really think about what we purchase from supermarkets.

Well, some food items don’t only cost you money which you basically didn’t want to spend, but also put your health and that of your family at risk.

These are the products that you should never ever get from supermarkets (and why)

1- Ready-to-eat Salad

One of the most dangerous foods in supermarkets that bacteriologists keep warning about is cut and packaged salad.

Even if the label says it’s ready to eat, it can be a shelter to many harmful bacteria, such as the ones responsible for intestinal diseases. These bacteria can come from the soil and cannot be eradicated since salads aren’t processed.

In order to keep yourself safe, you should always make sure to thoroughly wash your greens before consumption.

2- Sausage

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), bacon, sausage, and other processed meat items can put you at risk of developing cancer.

In fact, such foods contain nitrites, which transform within the food into nitrosamines, potent carcinogens. Smoked meat might as well contain benzopyrene, which is another carcinogenic substance.

To stay out of danger, you may want to purchase a hunk of good meat and cook it at home, you can make sandwiches or eat it as an appetizer.

3- Foods with Fruit Additives

Sweet fruity yogurts and berry buns are such a delight, but what’s actually inside them aren’t fruits! In reality, they are fruit fillings that are easily produced and sold.

All the thickeners, flavorings, and preservatives are added to prevent the food from spoiling, not to forget a tiny real fruit that’s also added to the mix.

You can read on the package that there’s about 20 or 30% of fruit in such fillings, which is honest.
