A new proposed bill in California is looking to ban five chemicals frequently found in candies and snack foods — all of which are currently banned in the European Union — claiming that they could be dangerous for consumers.
The lawmakers' statement also discussed how chemicals like these are used and why they are approved in the U.S., despite being banned in other countries.
These chemicals are allowed to be used in U.S. food because of the"GRAS" rule, which stands for"Generally Recognized As Safe." Gabriel said that, because of that rule,"chemical companies have added new substances to the food supply with almost no meaningful federal oversight."
