Scientists and industry insiders are raising the alarm after uncovering a scheme to “pump” dead human remains into the American food supply.
It comes as experts warn about the implications of human composting.
This controversial process, which involves the liquidation of human remains, has sparked heated debates about its potential risks and ethical concerns.

This method was promoted as an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional burial and cremation to fight climate change.
However, these human remains are now making their way into the U.S. food supply.

The process, known as alkaline hydrolysis or liquid cremation, dissolves human remains using heated water and an alkaline solution.
Proponents claim it’s a safe and efficient way to handle remains, leaving no traces of DNA, pathogens, or organic material that could pose risks to public health.
Critics, however, argue that such assurances may not be entirely trustworthy, particularly in light of past controversies surrounding the food and Big Pharma.
Some whistleblowers, including coroners and embalmers, allege that remnants of these human remains are finding their way into the food
