The california government recently made a decision to ban all candies that has or includes toxic things in it. For example, skittle or mentos. It will be much harder for skittles fan to “taste the rainbow” or for anyone with a sweet tooth to have their favorite candy again. Many of the chemicals that would be banned have never been independently reviewed by the FDA or re-evaluated in decades, according to Gabriel.
“Instead, these chemicals have entered the nation’s food supply through a loophole in federal law — known as GRAS, or ‘generally recognized as safe’ — that was intended to apply to common household ingredients like vinegar,” a news release said.
