Alabama’s Most Popular Snacks Being Banned In Other States

These companies are truly trying to make us sick!
I'm more convinced now than I've ever been before.
According to the Daily Mail, many popular snacks are being banned because they contain ingredients linked to cancer.
States like New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois are moving forward with bills to outlaw 13 additives, following the "Skittles ban" that targeted harmful additives already banned in Europe.
These additives include Yellow 6
found in Lucky Charms and Froot Loops, which is linked to adrenal tumors.
Yellow 5
found in Doritos and Cheetos, which can reportedly cause DNA mutations.
Titanium Dioxide,
found in cupcakes, is linked to lung cancer,
while Blue 1,
in Oreos, is suspected of causing kidney tumors.
Red 40,
found in various candies and cake mixes, contains benzene, linked to blood cancers.
Additionally, food dyes
in products like Gatorade and Pedialyte are linked to cancer and hyperactivity.
Yellow 5,
found in Tostitos queso and Doritos Dip, may make cancer cells grow faster.
If these bans pass, companies will have to remove these additives, which could significantly change the taste, texture, and appearance of popular snacks.
As of my last update, there aren't any specific banned snacks in Alabama that I'm aware of. However, certain ingredients or additives found in snacks, like those mentioned, may be subject to regulation or restriction based on health concerns. It's always a good idea to stay informed about potential health risks associated with certain foods and ingredients by following updates from health authorities or news sources. Additionally, food labeling laws may require companies to disclose certain information about ingredients, allergens, and nutritional content on packaging to help consumers make informed choices.
