Seaweed snacks

Recommended Posts

I used to get them at the grocery store for lunch all the time. They're delicious and healthy, or so I thought. But I happened to notice a warning that they might contain carcinogens. I had simply never thought to look because I believed them to be good for you. I haven't eaten them since then. Has anyone else seen these or know what I'm talking about? It's been awhile and I am not showing symptoms of cancer so I think I'm okay, but I will not eat them anymore.

It is only a certain type of seaweed that is prone to absorbing arsenic from the seawater. My son eats these all the time. They are good for you. Do the research and don’t believe everything you read, make sure it is current and comes from a reputable site.

Are you in California by any chance. I’ve read that just about everything has a cancer warning on it there because of Prop 65. If they could, they’d probably put the warning on the air there 😬 The ones I have from Trader Joe’s do not have a warning on them.

I have some friends who are Korean and they have eaten seaweed for years. They purchase it from a Korean grocery store here in Baltimore County.

I'm not.
