Endocrinologist, nutritionist, nutritionist, certified health coach (Health Coach, Institute for Integrative Nutrition, NYC) Anastasia Tarasko said that “homemade” food sold in stores can be dangerous due to poor quality raw materials and inconsistencies the composition of the indicated calorie content and the amount of proteins, fats and carbohydrates (BJU).
In conversation with “Gazeta.Ru” on Friday, March 10, the specialist clarified that in most cases, store-bought “homemade” food is not harmful, but it becomes dangerous if the manufacturer violates the rules for preparing or storing dishes. Under such conditions, dishes or products often become the cause of food poisoning.

She noted that the calorie content of the dish and the BJU in its composition are also often incorrectly indicated in such products, which is bad for people who monitor weight.
