Legislation is being advanced in Democratic states over health concerns

Many of the additives targeted have already been outlawed in Europe

Bills advancing in multiple states could see ‘thousands’ of America’s favorite candies, snacks and sodas banned in their current form.

Last October California approved a historic ‘Skittles ban’ that outlawed four food additives linked to cancer and fertility issues.

Now, New York, Pennsylvania and Illinois have advanced similar measures, targeting a total of 13 additives that are already banned in some European countries over alleged health risks.
