Did You Know School Lunches Are Administered by the Department of Defense?

What could possibly go wrong? Oh, let's just take a look at that, shall we?

"Nanoparticles are tiny additives that are used in food processing for a variety of purposes, including:

Food safety (Government source)
Nanoparticles can protect food from contamination and extend its shelf life. They can also be used to develop nanosensors that detect food contaminants, toxins, chemicals, and pathogens.
- Food quality
  
  Nanoparticles can enhance food quality by improving color, flavor, and freshness. They can also be used to deliver nutrients to the body, increasing nutrient absorption.
- Food packaging
  
  Nanocomposites, which are made from nanoparticles, are eco-friendly and biodegradable, and can be used in food packaging.

Nanotechnology is utilized in the food sector to enhance food security by employing nanosensors to identify infections or contamination in food throughout manufacturing, processing, packaging, storage and transport (Nile and Kai, 2021; Wang et al., 2021).Nov 21, 2022

An overview of antimicrobial nanoparticles for food preservation

Nanoparticles (NPs) play a significant role in enhancing food quality by protection and preservation and are preferred over traditional preservatives. In this work on organic and inorganic nanoparticles in various forms such as single and multiple metal oxides, polymeric nanocomposite, nanocapsules, etc., as well as ..."

However, the impact of nanoparticles on human health is unknown. Some studies suggest that eating nanoparticles may cause inflammation of the digestive tract, damage DNA, and harm cells.

Different types of nanoparticles used in food include:

Titanium dioxide nanoparticles

These nanoparticles are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and are often used to whiten or brighten food.

Polymer-based nanoparticles

These nanoparticles are made from natural biopolymers like polysaccharides and proteins.

What do nanoparticles do to the human body?

The effects of inhaled nanoparticles in the body may include lung inflammation and heart problems.
'I wash all my food like crazy': scientists voice concern about nanoparticles
US foods are increasingly full of nano-scale additives, even as researchers raise alarm bells about their safety

Just sayin'
