Bills advancing in multiple states could see thousands of popular candies, snacks, and sodas banned due to the presence of 13 additives linked to health risks, already banned in some European countries. California's historic 'Skittles Ban' has triggered similar measures in New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, New Jersey, and Missouri, targeting additives linked to cancer, fertility issues, and hyperactivity in children. While some argue for the bans due to health concerns, opposition claims there is no strong evidence linking the additives to adverse effects. If passed, companies will need to change their recipes by January 2027 or face legal action.
