The Illinois Senate recently passed a bill that would ban four specific food additives found in common products such as candy, soda, and baked goods. This legislative action is part of a broader movement in multiple states to prohibit certain food additives linked to cancer. Products like Skittles, Mountain Dew, Gatorade, and other processed foods could face bans if the bill is enacted. The push for these bans follows similar actions in other states, including California, which previously banned four harmful chemicals in food.
