                                According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), an estimated 3,000 chemicals that have never been scrutinized by the FDA appear in food today. This astonishing figure reveals a systemic issue rooted in regulatory failures and industry self-policing, leaving many to wonder why the FDA has never looked at some of the additives in our food.
