"This product contains a Bioengineered ingredient" - and other weird shit in food type discussion I guess

[The Lawgiver]

Making a thread about this cause I've noticed this on more and more shit the last few years and it's starting to bother me. They never specify "what" the ingredient is which upsets me more.
First thing I noticed it on was a few years ago before lockdown times on some name brand peanut butter pretzels I forgot the name of that tasted fucking weird to and were making my mouth feel kinda swollen. I'm not the kinda guy who has any kind of allergies so naturally it got me curious about what the fuck was going on. I checked the ingredients and saw "CONTAINS A BIOENGINEERED INGREDIENT". I assume whatever the fuck it was they usedin there was not sitting well with my body and never bought the damn things again. Flash forward a few years to post-rona lockdown world around 2020 or so, I get these fucking restaurant style tortilla chips, they look nice, taste nice, but have a fucking weird aftertaste I cannot fucking describe. Check the ingredients to see what the fuck they're putting in the chipsand BOOM. Fucking "Bioengineered ingredient" AGAIN!
Current year there's now like 3 things in my cabinet that I noticed have the label on them that didn't 2 years ago, 2 of which being generic grocery store brand bread rolls that i know for a fact did NOT have that on there before 2022, and a bunch of brands of tortilla chips I also know did not have that disclaimer on the back before current year. Other people eat them still and are fine and look at me like I'm fucking insane when I occasionally gripe about this but I'm still getting that weird fucking shitty aftertaste thing going on every god damn time I eat something with that label on the back. It seems I've more or less just gotta put up with eating stuff that tastes like shit to me at best or makes my ass sick at worst.

I'm not gonna go full conspiracy theorist here, but I do kinda wonder if it's due partly to Bill Gates who's into bioengineering food shit buying up basically all the farmland in the US. All I know for sure is it's showing up on more and more food labels and I wonder if it's partly why I feel so shit and so much stuff tastes like shit lately aside from just normal misery.

Good, I hope more products get bioengineered. More money for me.

I used to buy this stuff called Pirate's Booty which is like fake popcorn because I don't like real popcorn because stuff gets stuck in my teeth. It used to be advertised as GMO free, but the packaging no longer says that. On the back of the bag down near the bottom in small black text it says, "this product contains a bioengineered product". I didn't notice anything after eating it. I also buy these things called Popped Corners. They are like Doritos but popped like popcorn. But they taste better. I like the White Cheddar flavor. They used to say Non-GMO certified and they no longer say that either. But the bag doesn't say that on the back. It's usually on the back where you won't see it.

There is also something funny going on with the corn syrup ingredient in stuff. They are changing the name of it to glucose syrup. It's the same thing just a different name. I think the companies are catching on to the push against corn syrup and HFCS. A lot of stuff is labeled corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup free now. I have noticed that some stuff that says no HFCS will still have regular corn syrup in it or glucose syrup as they call it now. Looking into it I found that glucose syrup can be made with corn or wheat.

It depends on how it was bioengineered. People have been bioengineering fruits and vegetables for a long time. Most of the stuff we eat has been bioengineered in one way or another. What I like is people who smoke, vape or smoke dope running around worrying about GMO's and stuff being organic. Look up what the wild versions of the fruits and vegetables would have looked like. People used bioengineering to make them edible. This would have been very basic and crude forms of bioengineering, but they still did it.

More money for me.

Do you own the patents on some bioengineered shit? Work with a company that injects gene shit into corn or some shit to patent it? Otherwise I literally have no fucking clue how more being produced would net you money.

Pirate's booty was my shit years ago but i stopped eating it a few years back. The company that made that made a number of really nice chips and pretzels honestly. Was actually thinking of getting some a while back but now I'm mildly cautious about how shit it'll taste.
The bioengineered disclaimer is always on the back under the listed ingredients but they never say what it is specifically. I think it's less a "trying to hide it" thing and more a "we have to legally point this out" Like how milk products that don't have their cows pumped full of chemicals andhormones have to legally say there's "no difference" in the end product from ones that are despite there clearly being somewhat of a difference b how the cows fucking being fed. There's also a difference between selective breeding type stuff "bioengineeering" and the "bioengineered product" in legality from what I remember on top of the method.

I didn't notice the corn syrup name alteration thing on some food packages but I'll check for that later because it sounds funny as shit.

Yeah sure, let's go with that.

they quickly over used xantham gum and soy lecithin even though soy lecithin is reported to commonly give allergic reactions.
both xantham gum and soy lecithin are used in cakes, cookies and bread and it's use has grown substantially over the past 10 years.

multiple cake mix brands have changed their logos to say "contains soy" because of the presence of soy lecithin.
xantham gum was seldom found in bubblegum and chewy candy before it jumped into desserts.

well then you should be more specific when you say 'genetic engineering'

I never saw the other Pirate's Booty stuff all I ever saw was the faux popcorn stuff which is ok. If there is something bioengineered in that then it's probably the corn.

Next time you are in store checkout something you know that would have corn syrup in it like candy or something like that. It will say glucose syrup in the ingredients. Look on the back of a bag of Haribo gummy bears. They used to say corn syrup and now it's glucose syrup. Honey Smacks used to say corn syrup. I believe last I checked they changed to glucose syrup.

Pirate's Booty is GMO'd? Darnit, this conflicts with my mom having me buy organic milk every time I get groceries!

Yeah they are doing the GMO ingredients now. I guess inflation and availability of non GMO ingredients caused it. But I remember them being a non-GMO certified.

A few years back, it seemed like everyone was starting to realize how much corn is in EVERYTHING in all its dozens of forms, writing articles about it and talking about options--and that's when gluten awareness hit and nobody cared about corn any more.

Probably a coincidence, but I like the idea of Big Corn getting worried and framing wheat to take the heat off of them. Big doin's in the cereal sector.

This is why you cut random shitty snack foods out of your diet and learn to cook for yourself. If your tastebuds aren't fucked, a piece of actual cheddar tastes way better than some cheese-flavored carb snack.

If I had the facilities and moneyto make my own cheese I would probably try it out honestly but I gotta agree normal cheese is better than cheese flavored stuff in general. Small exceptions apply in terms of taste but I haven't run into said exceptions in way fucking over a decade and pretty much every fake cheese is shit.

 

[Stoneheart]

alot of this is just failed whitelabeling... the food insutry is working very hard to let yeast and bacteria make the chemicals they normaly use, because they dont have to declare them if they do it right.

mmmmmmmmm chemicals yummy

I always had a tin-foil theory that the gluten free push was done by rice producers to find a use for rice and rice flour/products in the market. Maybe House Corn and House Rice are playing game of thrones against House Wheat?

In all honesty, I wonder if the bioengineered label is one of those excessive things required by retarded bureaucracies? Thinking of the “this is known by the state of California to cause cancer” they put on everything from sunscreen to sunlight itself. Right now, I think it’s a nothingburger or no worse than how most food is heavily processed anyway (bioengineered ingredients is the wrong thing to be looking at).
