California Assembly Bill 418 (or AB 418) is looking to stop the manufacture, distribution or sale of any food products in the state that contain either the chemical potassium bromate, red dye No. 3, propylparaben, brominated vegetable oil or titanium dioxide.
These chemicals are found in popular foods like Skittles, Nerds, Little Debbie baked goods and Starburst.
Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel introduced the bill, saying in a press release Californians shouldn’t have to worry the food they buy “might be full of dangerous additives or toxic chemicals.”
The National Confectioners Association—which represents many chocolate and candy manufacturers, brokers and suppliers—opposes the bill, saying in a statement that “there is no evidence to support banning the ingredients listed in the bill.”
