[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm French. It's true that coming from the EU, where food and supplements (even make-up!) are regulated much better than here, some anxious worriers can get into a tizzy. I shop at Whole Foods and pay a lot of attention to ingredients.

But they were irrational and rude. One boxed brownie from the supermarket won't cause any issues (since apparently a real allergy isn't the issue).[/quote]

Op - they then proceeded to lecture me about what was ‘shelf safe’ as if it was so obvious. Should it be? I do understand ultra processed food but I suppose I don’t understand it as deeply as I thought I did where to them, brownies from a mix was the same as being given like - Lunchables? I felt v dumb [/quote]

PP you replied to. What did they say exactly? Now I'm curious. Is it the artificial preservatives and coloring? The fact it's a little (not a lot) processed, instead of being made from scratch? Would they have been fine with an organic brownie mix? I buy a lot of organic produce, I avoid artificial sweeteners, preservatives and coloring, and try to limit the ultraprocessed chips that I love to eat (ha). But I would NEVER lecture my host on any of it! Très gauche!

They're a little extra, OP. Please don't feel bad. [/quote]
