A first-of-its-kind bill in California could lead to the ban of popular candies like Skittles, Nerds, and Hot Tamales due to certain additives considered dangerous and toxic.
418 would prohibit the manufacture, sale, or distribution of any food containing Red Dye no. 3, titanium dioxide, potassium bromate, brominated vegetable oil, or propyl paraben.
Wicks has said that the harmful effects of the chemicals came to be a concern for her as a mother and that the ingredients can be easily avoided in the use of products. The five additives named in the bill are often used to extend foods’ shelf life and enhance flavor.
Advocates of the ban said many of the products containing the harmful chemicals were being targeted toward children and also being marketed to low-income consumers and communities of color.
