1) Ammonium Sulfate
Dong Ming
Nothing helps mass-produce bread like Ammonium Sulfate. Unfortunately, nothing fertilizers soil or kills bugs like it either.
2) Silicone Oil

Chicken McNuggets are full of dimethylpolysiloxane, a silicone oil that is often used for making contact lenses and other medical items.
3) Cysteine-L
continentalfeathers
Fast food restaurants use Cysteine-L, an amino acid synthesized from human hair or duck feathers, to flavoring their meat and softening their breads and pastries.
4) TBHQ
J.smith
This additive can be found in 18 McDonald's menu items. It's potentially lethal, but don't worry, the FDA only allows the chemical to be 0.02 percent of a food’s oil and fat.
5) Propylene Glycol
Propylene glycol is an organic chemical compound that can be found anti-freeze, e-cigarettes, and the greens fast food restaurants typically use in their meals.
6) Prescription Drugs
Anti-depressants as well as other prescription drugs are said to be added to the feed of the chickens fast food restaurants use for their poultry items.
7) Dimethylpolysiloxane
Shuttershock
You'll find this in almost any fried fast food menu item and also in Silly Putty.
8) Carminic Acid

9) Cellulose
