Skittles could be facing a potential ban in California, following the issue of a proposed bill, unless one “toxic” chemical and ingredient from the candies is removed.
Last month, California Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel introduced Assembly Bill (AB) 418, which would ban the manufacture, distribution, or sale of processed foods with certain chemicals that are toxic. This state ban would apply to any food products that contain Red Dye No. 3, Titanium Dioxide, Potassium Bromate, Brominated Vegetable Oil, or Propyl Paraben.
