The food and drink additives, which have been linked to health issues, could be removed from products nationwide as a result of the new law.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a bill that bans four food additives linked to health problems, the first time a state has outlawed chemicals allowed by the Food and Drug Administration.
Starting in 2027, California will prohibit red dye No. 3, potassium bromate, brominated vegetable oil and propylparaben after Newsom, a Democrat, signed Assembly Bill 418 into law Saturday. All four ingredients have been made illegal in the European Union and some other parts of the world, but they can be found in commonly sold items in the U.S., such as some brands of orange soda, icing, hamburger rolls, candies and processed foods.
The chemicals have been associated with issues from hyperactivity in children to cancer.
Only four? And why is arsene not one of them? Uranium, too…
CA being a tyrant the best way it knows how. Through ineffectual socialist policies.
Socialism is when banning harmful food additives.
I didn’t know we redefined socialism to be at where California is located in this beautiful diagram. What’s all that stuff further left? Socialism 2.0 and beyond?
