Half PSA, half why do companies use harmful substances in our foods? I’d expect vegan/vegetarian to be particularly cognizant.

  1. I saw this earlier this year and stopped buying, I think it is when it’s exposed to high heat temperatures; regardless I still don’t want to eat it even if I don’t cook the slices.

    Prop 65 warnings are on everything so I wouldn’t judge it by that alone. That said, I wouldn’t eat a lot of this as smoke flavour is a known carcinogen.

    So red meat casues cancer, but now the plant-based “meats” cause it too? What on earth are we supposed to eat?

  4. Acrylamides are forms from cooking/burning certain foods like potatoes which contain protein and carbohydrate. Of course this is at such small amounts and so prevalent in cooked foods it’s safe to assume the actual amount you get exposed to is safe. Californian law basically mandates ANY amount of carcongornic present must be disclosed. In theory that’s great, but it always requires understanding of the chemicals listed and their dosages which is never included and is used so conservatively that these labels are everywhere.

    Many of the Prop 65 warnings seem alarmist, but this one has given me pause. It’s specific to the roast.

    A 60-Day Notice (AG No. 2025-00927) was filed on March 21 2025 alleging that Turtle Island Foods sells a product (“Tofurky Plant-based Roast & Wild Rice Stuffing”) that exposes consumers to lead without the required warning under Prop 65.

  6. once you see it on so many things especially things you’ve already been using or eating for a while you kinda don’t care lol
