Food like substances are not food.
Call me tinfoil if you wish but I'm pretty certain that all kinds of extra crap is shoved into all kinds of things with the intent of offing your on switch earlier than is natural. Everything from toothpaste, deodorant, food like substances, carpets, clothes etc... is saturated with stuff that seemingly has no logical requirement or need. Corporations cost cut to make money so you think they're adding it for your health? Maybe the opposite is the plan...
I remember when I researched it a while back I found out that the most popular fragrances are chock full of crazy toxins as are candles which are way worse. The stuff they use on all the cheap furniture out of China to keep it preserved on the ships is jam packed with VOCs and endocrine disrupters.
Really deep topic and very eye opening as you realize how many different companies must be complicit in order for the process to be so widespread because almost everyone throws in a lil something something you don't want anywhere near you. Add in a sedentary culture that doesn't activate its lymph pumps and its a recipe for disaster.
