"States Consider Banning Popular Snacks Over Cancer Concerns"

Several US states are considering banning popular snacks and candies due to cancer-causing chemicals in their ingredients, including cereals like Lucky Charms and Froot Loops, candies such as Skittles, M&M’s, and Swedish Fish, and snacks like Flamin’ Hot Cheetos and Doritos. Chemicals like brominated vegetable oil, potassium bromate, and certain food dyes have been linked to cancer and behavioral problems, prompting states like California and New York to propose bans. The purpose of these bans is to pressure companies into changing their recipes, but the approach is currently enacted state by state.
