Trust in the food industry is not exactly great. But are the findings in this video really that “shocking”?
Fact check: Iodine can be used to identify harmful cottage cheese. It is understandable that consumers do not trust many foods. Some sites often report alarmistly about poisons in food. A video is now intended to demonstrate how simple methods can be used to determine that food has been manipulated.

Do these simple methods really do what they claim?
In the video, two types of cottage cheese are sprinkled with iodine and mixed in a bowl. A cheese turns purple, which is an indication that it is harmful to health.
Homemade cottage cheese - just like homemade mayonnaise - usually does not contain starch. However, industrially produced cottage cheese sometimes contains more, sometimes less starch. However, starch is not harmful to health. In addition, the packaging always states how much starch a cheese contains.

This claim “Iodine can be used to detect cottage cheese that is harmful to health” is false.
Starch, which occurs naturally in many foods, is not an indication that cottage cheese is harmful to health.
