It's important to note that:

* Not all products in these categories contain BHT. Always check the ingredient list on food packaging.

* The amount of BHT in foods can vary.

* Some countries have banned or restricted the use of BHT in food.

If you're concerned about BHT, you can look for foods labeled "no preservatives" or "organic." However, it's important to remember that not all "organic" foods are necessarily BHT-free.

Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to consume BHT is a personal one. There is some controversy surrounding its safety, and some people choose to avoid it due to potential health concerns.
