Grok said that the ingredients in Oreos that would help them stay intact when burned include sugar, palm oil or canal oil, soy lecithin and cocoa. "The reason an Oreo wafer doesn’t burn when exposed to a blowtorch is due to its composition and structure," an artificial intelligence (AI) said.

Oreo Under Fire! Netizens Claim Oreo Cookies Can Withstand Blowtorch Fire As They Contain Poison and Cancer-Causing Chemicals, Grok and AI Reveal Truth After Videos Go Viral

Multiple videos going viral on social media show Oreos withstanding prolonged blowtorch blasts. The viral clips have sparked concern among people, with many claiming that Oreo cookies are laced with poison while some say they contain cancer-causing chemicals. The debate began after a video on X showed Oreos being blowtorched; however, the cookies continue to remain intact despite efforts to ignite them. "Oreo cookies laced with cancer-causing flame retardant chemicals that even a blow torch can't ignite?" a user asked. However, Grok said that the ingredients in Oreos that would help them stay intact when burned include sugar, palm oil or canal oil, soy lecithin and cocoa. "The reason an Oreo wafer doesn’t burn when exposed to a blowtorch is due to its composition and structure," an artificial intelligence (AI) said. The development comes after several users said that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Mondelez (Oreo owner) for making false claims that its products are "100% Sustainably Sourced". As per the lawsuit, the company is allegedly using cocoa, which is harvested with child and child-slave labour. Besides, the cocoa supply chain of Mondelez is also accused of devastating rainforests in West Africa. According to the official website of Oreo, the cookies contain ingredients such as unbleached enriched flour (wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamine mononitrate {vitamin b1}, riboflavin {vitamin b2}, folic acid), sugar, palm oil, soybean and/or canola oil, cocoa (processed with alkali), high fructose corn syrup, leavening (baking soda and/or calcium phosphate), salt, soy lecithin, chocolate, artificial flavour. Contains: Wheat, soy.
