通心粉亦称通心面，在国外已是极普通的面制品之一，我国上海、广州、天津等地也有少量生产。通心粉的种类很多，一般都是选用淀粉质丰富的粮食经粉碎、胶化、加味、挤压、烘干而制成各种各样口感良好、风味独特的面类食品
每一个选择，都是内心的取向。
据外媒报道近日两名美国妈妈发起一场运动要求卡夫食品公司停止向其在美国出售的芝士通心粉（Macaroni & Cheese）中添加可能致癌的两种人工色素

Two mothers have launched a campaign demanding that Kraft remove the artificial food dyes in the U.S. version of its Macaroni & Cheese
Lisa Leake and Vani Hari, both from North Carolina, noticed that the brightly-colored pasta contains two synthetic substances - yellow 5 and yellow 6 - that add nothing to the flavor and may be dangerous to children's health.
They also discovered that the Illinois-based food giant makes the same product for consumers in UK but because of stricter regulations regarding additives, it is dye-free.
