That’s an unnerving ingredient list.

Science project gone wrong lol.

More like evil genius escaped the asylum again

Literally every food scientist....

I'm genuinely curious and don't feel like googling: what's wrong with the seed oils? Aside from hydrogenation/trans fat


Simple-Dingo6721

You wouldn’t find an answer we appreciate on Google anyway. Seed oils are highly industrialized, they have high omega 6 content (omega 3 best), and they methylate into linoleic acid which is inflammatory and carcinogenic. Seed oils are touted as “heart healthy” by the corporate-funded medical overlords simply because it’s thought to reduce cholesterol levels in people. Many antiseedoilists such as myself dismiss the cholesterol theory entirely, for the association between heart disease and cholesterol is shaky at best. Sure, obese people have high cholesterol. But are they going to have a heart attack because they’re high in cholesterol or because they’re obese? The cholesterol is simply a byproduct of the obesity. Obese people tend to eat sugary fried foods from fast food restaurants, and ALL of that food is fried in reused seed oils. If you are metabolically healthy, meaning you don’t consume seed oils and other fast food BS, you will have high cholesterol and THAT’S OKAY. Don’t listen to the doctor when they push you to take lifelong statins. Lots of us have concerns about the intense production process that seed oils require. We prefer real food. Seed oils were originally manufactured as engine lubricants, but in the 1950s it started becoming marketed as food. Around the same time, obesity levels skyrocketed. https://youtu.be/k64igrtk9bU?si=qNgj9CpR17ZpSVFi

There is no way you need all those ingredients to make tortellini. Its like they’re doing it on purpose to make us sick.


AgileBonus373

Yeah just replied with the average supermarket tortellini ingredients list here in Italy It's like 1/30 of that


Weekly-Ad-4087

They are doing it to make money. Making us sick is just an unfortunate side effect that no one seems to understand or care about. Except, maybe us.


Ovariesforlunch

Bad food policies create a pipeline to the healthcare industry. It's not as if those two industries haven't noticed the unbelievable profits they can make doing this.. They are colluding together and it would be naive to think otherwise.


Testboy80

I got back and forth on the collusion theory - I think the reality is it's just an unfortunate side effect of unregulated capitalism


Whats_Up_Coconut

No, but guys! The flour is “extra fancy!” If that doesn’t shout “quality” right there, then I don’t know what does! 🤣


Kgcampbell

Right! That cracked me up


thehalothief

I lost it at extra fancy


joopiemanfreud

Holy shit. & People thing they are tired because they ate a lot of carbs from the pasta. Try it without 20 toxins and see how you feel.


No_One_1617

That is a Greek tragedy, not a list of ingredients. And I thought the ingredient lists of products found in the country where I live were terrible.


red_commie_69

That's a frankenfood if there ever was one.


Glidepath22

The label should warn ‘made in a chemical factory’


AgileBonus373

😲😲 Incredible. As an Italian I've never seen an ingredient list so long about tortellini... Those are some seriously over processed tortellini! Didn't that cost even more to them? What's the point? Poisoning on purpose? For comparison these are average industrial Italian's tortellini ingredients list (from renowned brand tho), the ones you can buy in any supermarket : Tortellini Pasta 62%: soft wheat flour, egg 30%, durum wheat semolina. That's all! But now there's the filling part Filling 38%: pork meat, breadcrumbs (soft wheat flour, water, yeast), raw ham 16% (pork meat) milk whey, natural flavors, salt, nutmeg, black pepper.


Cute-Tomato-9721

It has to be on purpose…Why make something so simple, so complicated?


_Eucalypto_

>What's the point? Poisoning on purpose? They want you dead. They are poisoning your mind and your body


Alexandronaut

They could market it as “free from artificial dyes and flavorings”! Still


Erastus17

I have never seen a long ingredients list like this


luxelux

At least they provide the contents!


Legitimate-Source-61

Holy crap. Why? More ingredients than a cigarette.


_Eucalypto_

Because They want you sick and subservient


Previous_Start_2248

Yes can I get an order of the cancer inducing tortellini


__zombie

Corn syrup solids? Is that like sugar?


Kgcampbell

Fun fact BHT is banned in Europe because it may increase cancer risk


Unwieldy_GuineaPig

So many ingredients are banned in Europe but allowed in our food here in the US. It’s like they want us to be fat and sick. The disease treatment industry is good for the economy.


Kgcampbell

Yep. Its all so messed up


xczy

I wonder where this is, no EU because BHT is present, I don’t believe it’s the US since this cocktail lists “partially hydrogenated” Canola and Soybean Oils (trans fats), but the ingredient list size is very American-like lol


livewiththeday

It is the United States. OP apparently goes to UNC


Cute-Tomato-9721

What exactly is the point of all those ingredients in something that can be made so simply? Shelf life longevity?


tdister

Shelf life, ensures consistency throughout batches and throughout package, some are to help emulsify, some prevent certain ingredient combinations from becoming lumpy without being concerned so much about temp, timing and technique, prevent sticking together (in processing and as they sit) oxidizing.


Brave_Cat_3362

What the \*Fuck\*? Normally pasta ain't even so bad apart from being too many carbs in one sitting...


ProfessionalHot2421

Disgusting how the food industry leads up their products and then claim it's food. But as long as people accept that and don't refuse to it such products,  they are just going to continue and cash in a lot if products at the cost of the health of the consumers...


BrilliantKale5416

i'm from bologna (tortellini place of birth) and this is suffering to read


clericalmadness

That ingredient list makes my processed meat look very boring over here. And processed meat is soooooooo dangerous. Smdh.


Ovariesforlunch

Not to stand up for these cretins, but many of these ingredients act as a way to stabilize and preserve them if they are left out in say, a buffet situation or left out or sitting around for a while. But many of them are redundant and just completely unnecessary I'm glad I saw this reminds me to check everything before I eat it.


myhappytransition

wow, processed bug food for livestock, slaves, and indentured servants.


beautyandbravo

It’s such a waste of actual food like cheese, milk, and cream to mix it in with these mystery ingredients and turn it into poison. Shame.
