Check if a string contains any element of an array in JavaScript

Question

How can I check if a string contains any element of an array? I want to filter some array if the element has some string. Please see below code.

var arr = ['banana', 'monkey banana', 'apple', 'kiwi', 'orange'];

function checker(value) {
  var prohibited = ['banana', 'apple'];

  for (var i = 0; i < prohibited.length; i++) {
    if (value.indexOf(prohibited[i]) == -1) {
      return true;
    } else {
      return false;
    }
  }
}

arr = arr.filter(checker);
console.log(arr);

It can be as simple as that:

const arr = ['banana', 'monkey banana', 'apple', 'kiwi', 'orange'];

const checker = value =>
  !['banana', 'apple'].some(element => value.includes(element));

console.log(arr.filter(checker));
