Is tbhq and citric acid halal?
Don't know what 'tbhq' is, but pure citric acid is definitely halal, because it is naturally occurring in fruit (juices). However it also comes as food add, eg. in meat, and it will not make that meat halal if it wasn't so already.
What is TBHQ in Reese's peanut butter cups?
TBHQ is the acronym used to describe tertiary butylhydroquinone, which is an antioxidant that comes from petroleum and is related to butane. It is often used as a preservative, applied either to the carton of fast food items or sprayed directly onto them, as well as in various other prepackaged food items.UsageToxicityTBHQ reduces oxidative deterioration in foods it is applied to, delaying the onset of rancidness. It is particularly effective in reducing the deterioration of fats and oils and aids in reducing nutritional loss over time and extending storage life. Side EffectsAs a food additive, the FDA allows TBHQ to make up no more than 0.02 percent of the total oils in a food. Consuming up to a gram of TBHQ can cause variable toxicity, and up to 5 grams can be fatal. For perspective, it would take 312.5 McDonald's chicken nuggets (if they contain a full 0.02% of TBHQ) to consume a single gram. CarcinogenesisConsuming high doses of TBHQ (between 1 and 4 grams, approximately) can lead to a variety of negative symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), delirium and collapse. But the sheer amount of food consumption necessary to be afflicted by TBHQ toxicity generally makes these symptoms extremely rare. TBHQ in ChildrenIn toxicity studies, long-term, high-dose TBHQ administration in lab animals showed a tendency for them to develop cancerous precursors in the stomach, as well as causing DNA damage. But unlike other antioxidant additives, it did not cause lung lesions in laboratory animals.There has been some anecdotal evidence that TBHQ can cause anxiety, restlessness, and aggravation of ADHD symptoms, although there have been no clinical studies that show any link between food additives and behavioral disorders in children.

Can TBHQ Preservative cause rashes or itching or breakouts on the skin?
Absolutely!! I start itching withing a couple of hours of ingestion, and the itching continues for 2 solid weeks. It is usually in just one area & if I were to keep eating it, it would spread. There is no visible rash until I scratch & then the skin raises and welts appear.

Is there any chemical used to prevent rancidity in oil?
Antioxidants are used: Tertiary Butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) is effective for a wide variety of lipids. It is often used directly in vegetable derived oils, and foods containing those vegetable oils. It is also used in the preparation of other food categories such as confections, non-dairy toppings, coffee whiteners and snack dips. TBHQ has been shown to be highly effective in extending shelf life for many products. Propyl Gallate (PG) is a very effective antioxidant that can be used in various highly unsaturated fats and oils. It can be combined with other antioxidants such as Butylated Hydroxylanisole, Butylated Hydroxytoluene, and/or citric acid. It is sometimes substituted for vegetable oils in some countries where Tertiary Butylhydroquinone has not yet been approved. PG is relatively unstable during baking and frying, however.
What kind of preservatives are in popcorn?
Popcorn has a natural freshness of 3-to-5 years and needs no preservatives in its unpopped kernal form. However, that doesn't stop the large distributors from extending shelflife by adding tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) to unpopped popcorn. Another unhealthy additive found in some microwave varieties is diacetyl. Both TBHQ and diacetyl are dangerous to humans and pets. Nitrogen is what is generally used to fill the bags of pre-popped popcorn instead of normal "air" which contains oxygen. Oxygen causes the popped popcorn to go stale. Unlike TBHQ and diacetyl, nitrogen is not harmful--it makes up most of the "air" you breathe! Truly healthy popcorn has no preservatives. Back in the good ol' days of the Cold War, preservatives were touted as the God-sent solution to how we were going to keep our food supplies from rotting in our bomb shelters as we waited for the half-life of nuclear radiation to wear off. If you are looking for preservative free food, you should not have difficulty finding it on your grocer's shelves. Stay away from the big brands that sell nationwide and select a local grower's product. The larger the distributor's market, the longer their food stays in warehouses or gets shipped back-and-forth across the US. If you see preservatives in food, its probably a good sign that the food has been sitting for YEARS!

How can oxidation be prevented?
One of the best ways is to treat the frying oil with an antioxidant. Synthetic antioxidants such as TBHQ or natural antioxidants such as rosemary extract or tocopherols stabilise the oil. As the chips are fried the oil is picked up by the chip and the life is often significantly extended delaying rancid flavour formation.
