[#77] Hot Take Summer: The Bad News about Costco Rotisserie Chicken and Banza Pasta

Clean up on aisle YIKES!! Welcome back to another Hot Take Summer episode of Rebel Wellness! This week I'm tackling some hot topics from the grocery store aisles that have stirred up quite the discussion! First, we're breaking some bad news about the Costco rotisserie chicken. I'll discuss the implications of this product's packaging shift from plastic cloches to bags, and what it might mean for your exposure to PFAs—those notorious 'forever chemicals'.

Additionally, we'll discuss a trendy pantry staple that's recently been under scrutiny: Banza chickpea pasta. Recent findings reveal alarming levels of glyphosate (aka the herbicide Roundup), raising concerns about its safety. As always, my focus is on what these new findings mean for your health and wellness.

Join me as we dissect these issues with depth and nuance. Of course, food choices are never just about what's convenient; it's about understanding the impact on our health and making decisions that align with our wellness goals. Tune into this episode for a critical look at everyday choices that could be shaping your health landscape more than you think.
