How does this food harm

6. Frozen Meals

Company: Swanson’s and more
Market Share: $55.8 billion*
Ingredient: Sodium, fat, and calories

Frozen dinners are very convenient, and it makes sense why they’re a favorite of a lot of Americans. After you come home from a long day, all you have to do is pop the meal into the microwave, wait a little bit, and then you can eat something that would have taken way longer to actually cook.

But frozen dinners have their downsides. They are filled with fat, calories, and sodium—three things you want to keep in moderation. If you still want frozen meals, WebMD recommends sticking to lighter dinners from brands like Smart ones, Lean Cuisine, and Healthy Choice.

7. Dates

Company: Various
Market Share: $21.5 billion by 2029*

Ingredient: Fruit flies

Many people really love dates and eat them in place of candy, but would they be so keen to do so if they knew that ten insects and 35 fruit fly eggs per ounce are totally okay to be sold to you with the dates?

It’s not something many people know. Raisins and other fruit of that ilk are held to the same standard, so if this is something you’re into, just know you’re probably getting a little added protein in with your fruity snack. Bear Grills would be proud.

8. Bacon

Company: Applegate, Market Pantry, and more
Market Share: $65.27 billion*
Ingredient: Cholesterol

Bacon is amazing, we all know that, but we’re lying to ourselves if we think it’s in any way, shape, or form healthy. Bacon might be the perfect addition to a breakfast of eggs or a sandwich (or just eaten by itself), but it is high in cholesterol. According to WebMD, the bastion of all things medical-related, each ounce of bacon has 30 milligrams of cholesterol.

If you’re eating bacon and eggs, you’re getting a double dose. Bacon is also rich in saturated fat, which means that it can raise cholesterol levels that way, too. The serving size of bacon is small, but it’s not advised that you pile it on every day. Sadly.

9. Packaged Bread

Company: Grupo Bimbo and others
Market Share: $42.4 billion*

Ingredient: L-cysteine

There was a time (albeit many moons ago) when sliced bread was just a dream. People had to bake their own or buy straight from the baker, but these days it’s a common household item. However, there’s a reason why freshly-baked bread only lasts a couple of days, when packaged bread can last weeks.

It’s all down to L-cysteine, which isn’t just any old regular preservative. The compound is natural, but that doesn’t make it any better. It’s actually derived from human hair. According to Disney’s Vice, the most popular source for this is hair salons in China. Hair is swept up, dissolved in acid, the L-cysteine is removed, and away it goes to bakeries to go into bread

10. Chocolate Bars

Company: Mars and others
Market Share: $114 billion total chocolate market*
Ingredient: Insect legs

We have to apologize in advance, but nothing is sacred these days. Chocolate is something most of us enjoy in hearty amounts, which is why it’s such a beloved snack food. Even chocolate isn’t safe from contamination though, apparently.

Guidelines state that chocolate bars usually have around eight insect legs inside on average, while still passing inspection. Next time you get a crunchy bar, take a minute and think about what’s giving it that texture. Is it nuts, is it caramel, or is it a beetle that came along for the ride and died from misadventure?

11. Cheese

Company: Schuman’s Fairfield and others
Market Share: $123.87 billion*
Ingredient: Goat stomach lining (aka rennet)

Cheese is a wonderful thing that makes a ton of companies a very healthy amount of money on a yearly basis. It’s one of the most popular and most commonly bought foods around the world, but have you ever stopped to think what might be in it?

A block of dairy goodness might be the first thing on our Kroger shopping lists, but what if we told you that cheese is actually made with the stomach lining of a goat, calf, or lamb? What’s even more disturbing is that the animal in question has to be a baby and still be nursing from its mother in order for the right enzyme to be present.
