Tag: Preservative alternatives

In 2015, General Mills announced it would remove the controversial preservative BHT from its cereals in response to consumer demand. Choosing which cereals do not contain BHT requires careful label reading, as many popular brands now offer BHT-free versions, utilizing safer, natural antioxidants like Vitamin E instead.

According to a 2025 report from the Environmental Working Group, consumer demand is increasingly pushing manufacturers to find alternatives to synthetic preservatives like BHT. This growing trend has led to the development of numerous safe and effective options for a replacement for BHT in food, cosmetic, and industrial products.
