[edit] Milk Protein Concentrate
Has anyone considered mentioning the questionable nature of the MPC in Kraft Singles? The following quotes from various sources:
http://www.nffc.net/issues/dairy/dairy_2.html "NFFC also requested the 108th Congress to prevent the illegal use of MPCs in standardized food products by forcing the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to enforce federal standards and take regulatory action against illegal, adulterated products."
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/editorial/outlook/4818117.html "Milk protein concentrate, which enters the United States as an industrial-grade ingredient to make adhesives and which has never been subject to consumer-safety testing or given Generally Regarded as Safe (GRAS) status by the FDA, is now found in hundreds of adulterated cheese products, candies, chips, nutritional drinks and other processed junk foods."
http://www.infoshop.org/inews/article.php?story=2006111807473660 "MPC is legal for glue and for industrial uses, but it has never been approved for human consumption." "Some of the countries sending MPC to the U.S. for use in our food supply include India, Russia, and China, all nations where questionable health issues in the past have included radiation contamination, chemical pollution, and disease factors."
[edit] Classification
In the interest of accuracy, maybe this product should be referred to as a "Cheese-like substance"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.25.148.87 (talk) 03:36, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
