Popular Snacks & Drinks Risk Being Banned Over Cancer-Linked Ingredients... Including Gatorade, Cheetos, M&Ms & More!

"Thousands of popular snacks and classic candies could be banned in several states due to cancer-causing chemicals in their ingredients. Some foods that risk being banned are cereals such as Lucky Charms and Froot Loops; candies including Skittles, Nerds, M&M’s and Swedish Fish; and snacks like Flamin’ Hot Cheetos and Doritos. Food chemical ban battle At least five states — California, Illinois, Missouri, New York and Washington — have proposed or passed laws that prohibit the use of certain food or color additives that can help preserve the food but may be linked to health issues. Supporters of the legislation say these ingredients are linked to harmful health effects and need to go. While several states are looking to ban these ingredients, many states — Indiana, Maryland, South Dakota, Washington and West Virginian — have rejected similar proposals due to a lack of “scientific basis.” Critics of the bans, like the National Confectioners Association and the Consumer Brands Association, say these laws undermine the authority of the FDA as well as confuse and instill a lack of confidence in consumers when these food companies have to follow strict guidance already." - NewsNation | Posted by Thrillz
