Eurest/Compass, the largest Foodservice company in the world, is knowingly purchasing dangerous ingredients- using cheap and dangerous chemicals to mass-feed their clientele- 20 million meals per day- including many children and nursery students worldwide as young as age 2.
Just some of the problem ingredients are:
E 102: Tartrazine, also known as an Aluminum Lake Salt, contains Aluminum and has been banned in several countries before. Ingested Aluminum leads to short and long term brain deficits, and has been implicated in the etiology of Alzheimer's Disease.
E 631: Disodium inosinate: not permitted in foods for infants and young children, no safety studies whatsoever published at Pubmed.
E627: Disodiumguanylate: not permitted in foods for infants and young children. Unlike MSG, DSG has not been studied much, except for the flavor enhancing aspects in canine taste nerves. No safety studies of consumption in humans at all.
E621: Monosodium glutamate (MSG)
MSG is/causes:
1) liver inflammation and precancerous lesions in the liver
citation: "Monosodium glutamate (MSG): a villain and promoter of liver inflammation and dysplasia." Journal of Autoimmunity. 2008 Feb-Mar;30(1-2):42-50.)
2) brain signaling disruptions leading to obesity
citation: American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. 2011 Jun;93(6):1328-36. Epub 2011 Apr 6.
3) type 2 diabetes

4)headache trigger.
citation: MSG and hydrolyzed vegetable protein induced headache: review and case studies. Headache. 1991 Feb;31(2):107-10.
5)headache and craniofacial pain.
citation: Cephalalgia. 2010 Jan;30(1):68-76.
6) MSG is Neurotoxic to the hypothalamus, the region of the brain which
regulates appetite.
Citation: Eur J Clin Nutr. 2006 Jan;60(1):25-31.
7) as early as 1978 we know MSG causes lesions in the hypothalamus, a very important gland regulating the entire autonomic nervous system and most endocrine glands. Exp Neurol. 1978 Oct;62(1):191-9.
and a search for msg neurotoxic (or neurotoxin) plus the term "ncbi" will bring
you to many, many studies demonstrating that it is an excitotoxin and damages
and kills neurons in various areas of the brain. The younger the child, the
higher the damage done by neurotoxins. Vulnerability of children and the developing brain to neurotoxic hazards. Environ Health Perspect. 2000 Jun;108 Suppl 3:375-81.
Eurest's China foodservice head has been made aware of these issues, and yet they still as a corporation choose to use these ingredients daily! Their clients are unknowingly consuming these chemicals daily, possibly causing untold health problems now and in the future.
We ask Eurest to step up, show responsibility - responsibility for the health and well being of both the adults they serve, and especially the young people. We ask that, from the top echelons of the corporation, Eurest totally remove these harmful ingredients from their meals!
