Her new cookbook, Food Babe Family, will officially hit stores on October 17, 2023.

She has led campaigns against food giants like Kraft, Starbucks, Chick-fil-A, Subway, and General Mills that attracted more than 500,000 signatures and led to the removal of several controversial ingredients used by these companies.
