Articles and videos about Concerns over rocket fuel in our food on FOX6 News Milwaukee.
The article from Fox6Now discusses concerns raised by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) about the presence of perchlorate, a component of rocket fuel, in our food supply. Perchlorate has been found in various foods and beverages, including baby formula, produce, and dairy products, due to contamination of water sources and soil. The EWG's analysis of data from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) revealed that nearly all samples of these products contained detectable levels of perchlorate. This chemical can interfere with thyroid function, which is crucial for growth and development, particularly in infants and young children. The article highlights the need for stricter regulations and monitoring to reduce exposure to perchlorate and protect public health.
