#35: Canned Pickled Vegetables

Canned pickled vegetables from China can be risky. Some contain too much sodium benzoate, a preservative that forms carcinogens under heat. Other products use industrial salt, which may include heavy metals. These ingredients may preserve color but damage health.

Vegetables are processed without proper controls in unsanitary factories. Contamination from bacteria or metal particles is also possible. Consumers often trust canned goods without checking their origin. Repeated intake of these pickles could increase long-term health risks.
