18 Supermarket Lies Revealed


9. The Cheeseless Cheese Pizza

Mama Celeste Original Pizza

The Claim: "Original Pizza"
The Truth: Ever had a pizza without cheese? Well, if you eat this one you will have, since Mama Celeste doesn't use a single shred of real cheese in making this problematic pie. What does she use? Imitation mozzarella, which is the second ingredient on the list and is composed mostly of partially hydrogenated soybean oil, endowing each serving with 5 grams of nasty trans fats. Also watch out for the attachment of the word "flavored," as in "strawberry-flavored"; it's a surefire sign that the product is utterly fruitless.

What You Really Want: Cheese, strawberries, or whatever you think it is you're getting. If the name or flavor in the food's title isn't one of the first few ingredients, find another product.
