How about a little antifreeze in your favorite ice cream? No joke: see this

https://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com/antifreeze-in-your-ice-cream/

So, GRAS status, originally intended for widely recognizable and understood ingredients like water and salt, has been horribly abused to allow things like a form of antifreeze in commercial ice cream. If you've ever made homemade ice cream, you know how rock hard it is straight out of the freezer so you have to let it sit out a bit or you'll hurt your wrist trying to scoop it out. Food companies can't risk that annoying inconvenience. There are many hundreds of such 'ingredients' slyly slipped into our comestibles that often aren't even included on food labels – but only in the US, where it's the Wild West and corporations rule the roost.

No wonder most of us are chronically sick. Let's hope Bobby and the new FDA team get all this junk out of our foods and out of our bodies as soon as possible.

Sadly all they had to use was vodka. LOL. But noooo, no alcohol for kids! (Frivolous amount per serving in the end but nah let’s have them drink antifreeze instead …🙄)

Now that IS scary - "they don't have to list it as an ingredient on the label at all, if it is "industry standard". "
