Opinion: California didn’t ban Skittles, but what it did was important

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:25:24 GMT

Last month, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law California’s Food Safety Act banning four ingredients that are linked to health risks. These substances — red dye No. 3, propyl paraben, brominated vegetable oil and potassium bromate, currently found in some candies, sodas and baked goods — will not be allowed in the state’s foods starting in 2027. All four are banned from foods in the European Union (which only allows red No. 3 in candied and cocktail cherries), but, California aside, they remain perfectly legal in the United States.New York is considering a similar law that would also ban a fifth substance previously included in California’s law — titanium dioxide, which is used in Skittles. That’s why the California measure got dubbed the “Skittles ban” (a name that stuck even after titanium dioxide was cut from the draft).California is the first state to go beyond Food and Drug Administration regulations by banning the other four additives. Should it have deferred to the FDA?S...
