"Potential Bans on Popular Candies and Food Chemicals in California and US"

Lawmakers in California are considering a bill that would ban the sale and production of foods containing five chemical additives, including those found in Skittles and Campbell's soup, due to health concerns. Three of the five substances have already been banned in the European Union. The bill was introduced by State Assembly member Jesse Gabriel and aims to protect public health and the safety of the food supply. This would be the first ban of its kind in the United States, where the FDA typically oversees food safety.
