Carbon monoxide is a toxic, odorless gas that preserves meat and deceives consumers through its promising, bright, red color applied to raw meat. This harmful gas accumulates in one's body as one can be be buying meat treated with carbon monoxide without knowing since it's often omitted in ingredient labels. As a matter of fact, you could be eating old meat that appears fresh. GROSS!!

  It is no surprise carbon monoxide can kill you in excess and negatively affects your organs. Why would anyone including the FDA approve its use when the side effects are threatening the harmony of our bodies? The EU is a step away from us; carbon monoxide is banned in all foods. So can the FDA please explain why they choose to fail their role in enhancing food safety when the EU is taking more action to amend the food system as much as possible? Gassing meat is completely unnecessary, destructive to the benefits of the meat, raises eyebrows, and its sinister use for deceit is reminiscent of when concerns over food dyes were neglected by an elite organization from the government.

  It's factual that food dyes give the impression of a brighter product that draws consumers to purchase it and deteriorate their health in return. How much of that is relatable to gassed meat? In signing this petition, you are supporting the potential ban for carbon monoxide in meat and casting your wonderful voice to raise awareness over these neglected issues.
