So, I’m at a friend’s house making tuna salad. I see some pickles in the fridge and think this will be good to add to my lunch. So I take the jar and set it on the table. I’m hungry and can’t wait to sit down to a healthy meal.
This is going to be good; I have not had tuna in awhile. I place the pickle on my sandwich and take my first bite. Heaven, it’s just the way I like it!
The pickle jar is sitting on the table, so as usual I start looking at the label. My eye hits the ingredient section first. As I’m reading the label I see:
Ingredients: Cucumbers, water, vinegar, salt, high fructose corn syrup, calcium chloride, 0.1% sodium benzoate (preservative), natural and artificial flavors, polysorbate 80, and fd&c yellow #5.
OMG! It’s not the way I like it. I like it without: high fructose corn syrup, sodium benzoate, polysorbate 80, and FD&c yellow #5.
So, after I finished lunch, I did some detective work and found out that you have to be a picky pickle eater. Not all pickles have that junk. BA’TAMPTE is one brand of pickles that only contain; cucumbers, water, garlic, salt and spices.
Any other pickle lovers out there that want to add other brands to the list?
This type of thing ever happen to you?

If you look on: http://www.saynotomsg.com/basics_list.php it may provide some insight. But if you haven’t seen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTSvlGniHok then you are probably completely in the dark.
All the ingredients you mentioned pale in comparison to the dangers of artificial flavoring and “spices”. This is because the FDA is completely corrupt and controlled by an elite cult of freemasons. If you’ve seen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJiIuQyStr4&list=PL6N-CZELzviJ6FxxDa1VoLhpnRREKJu7_&index=6&feature=plpp_video you’d know how common it is for the FDA to give MASSIVE loopholes to protect the interests of conspirators. Dumbing down the population through unregulated excitotoxin poisoning is as important to Bilderberg conspirators as sabotaging all the food crops to eventually cause mass cancer genocide.
And to a certain extent I can’t say I blame them. 99.9999 percent of the population are too ignorant and smug to comprehend the tremendous amount of flaws in their reality. They wouldn’t even belong living in a real economy anyways. A life of slavery and continual brainwashing is the only thing people are capable of. That is why nobody seriously concerns themselves with what is actually happening on this planet.
How do you know that the “spices” don’t include MSG?
I remember reading the labeling laws but I don’t remember exactly what it can be classified as. General terms like “spices” still worry me. And where’s the vinegar, is it part of the spices? Oh, and hello Valerie! 🙂
Hello Mary,
Your question is a good one. If anyone knows please respond to this. I suggest trying to go natural or organic to keep the unwanted “extras” out.
I was surprised recently to find high fructose corn syrup in sausage I was eating for breakfast. Not all brands, by any means. I’m more careful about my purchasing now.
