111种未经审查的化学品添加到美国食品和补充品中,引起安全关切。 111 unreviewed chemicals added to U.S. foods and supplements, raising safety concerns.

环境工作组的一项调查发现,美国食品、饮料和补充品中至少有111种安全性不明的化学品被添加到美国食品、饮料和补充品中,未经林业发展局审查,利用了一个漏洞,使公司能够自行宣布成分为“一般认为安全”的成分。 An investigation by the Environmental Working Group found at least 111 chemicals with unknown safety have been added to U.S. foods, drinks, and supplements without FDA review, exploiting a loophole allowing companies to self-declare ingredients as "generally recognized as safe." 研究查明了大约4 000种产品中的49种此类化学品,包括如Aloe vera和绿茶等浓缩天然提取物,专家警告这些天然提取物可能造成健康风险,如肝脏损伤和荷尔蒙干扰。 The study identified 49 such chemicals in about 4,000 products, including concentrated natural extracts like aloe vera and green tea, which experts warn may pose health risks such as liver damage and hormonal disruption. 批评者说,目前的制度让制造商评估自己的成分,造成利益冲突,并要求进行独立的安全审查和提高透明度。 Critics say the current system, which lets manufacturers assess their own ingredients, creates a conflict of interest and calls for independent safety reviews and greater transparency.
