A recent viral video has sparked widespread concern and outrage among consumers, particularly parents, after it appeared to show Oreo cookies resisting fire and not burning. The video, which has been viewed millions of times, demonstrates how Oreo cookies remain intact and do not catch fire when exposed to flames.

The video's creator claims that the reason for this unusual fire resistance is the presence of certain chemicals in the cookies. Specifically, it is alleged that Oreo cookies contain flame retardant chemicals, which are typically used in furniture and mattresses to prevent fires.

The use of flame retardant chemicals in food products is a highly controversial topic. Some experts argue that these chemicals can be toxic and have been linked to various health issues, including cancer and reproductive problems. However, others claim that the levels of these chemicals present in food products are not sufficient to pose a significant health risk.

The company claims that the fire resistance demonstrated in the video is due to the cookies high sugar content and low moisture levels, which make them less susceptible to burning. Despite the company's assurances, many consumers remain concerned about the safety of Oreo cookies and other food products that may contain similar chemicals. As a result, many experts are calling for greater transparency and regulation in the food industry to ensure that consumers have access to safe and healthy products. As a result, many experts are providing credible and evidence-based information when it comes to food safety and health issues.
