California Considers Banning Skittles and Other Processed Foods with Toxic Chemicals.

A proposed California bill, AB 418, aims to ban the sale of food items containing toxic and dangerous chemicals like Red Dye No. 3, Titanium Dioxide, Potassium Bromate, Brominated Vegetable Oil, or Propyl Paraben. These chemicals can cause significant health problems like increased risk of cancer, damage to the immune system, and behavioral issues in children. Many of the chemicals that would be banned have never been independently reviewed by the FDA or re-evaluated in decades. If passed, California would be the first state to have such a law.
