NJ listener shares 3 food brands ditching seed oils and additives

More Americans are reading ingredient labels and asking a simple question: Why does everyday food need so many oils, preservatives, dyes and artificial flavors?

The debate over seed oils is ongoing, but the larger movement toward simpler, recognizable ingredients is a positive one.

You should know what you're eating, and companies should be earning your business from delicious, nutritious and natural foods.

Not chemicals and seed oils that have no place on your table.

Caller Matt today offered three growing brands with healthy snack and meal alternatives to the processed crap on many grocery store shelves.

Boss Cow Foods 

They've got a mac and cheese with elbow and cheese chips using grass-fed A2/A2 dairy from regenerative farms.

Its products contain no seed oils, soy, preservatives, dyes or “natural
flavors.”

The company’s cheese chips contain just one main ingredient: raw, grass-fed A2/A2 cheddar cheese.

PRIMA 

They've got grass-fed whey and collagen protein.

Instead of seed oils and artificial sweeteners, the company uses ingredients including grass-fed beef tallow, organic raw honey, coconut, cacao and egg yolk.

The labels are short enough for consumers to understand without a chemistry degree.

Lineage Provisions 

This company offers grass-fed protein bars, beef sticks, air-dried steak, collagen, tallow and other animal-based products.

Its protein bars use grass-fed whey and collagen, raw honey and tallow without seed oils, while its beef sticks are made without artificial preservatives, stabilizers or curing agents.

“Seed-oil-free” or “preservative-free” does not automatically make every product healthy.

Sugar, calories and portion size still count, but these companies seem to reflect a welcome change in the marketplace: shorter ingredient lists, greater transparency and food that is, well, actually food.

This is not an endorsement because I haven't tried the products yet, but our caller was passionate about it and I thought it was important to pass along to you.
