A California bill seeks to ban the sale of products that contain chemicals that are found in candies like Skittles, Nerds and Trolli Gummies.
"There is no realistic chance that this bill will result in Skittles or any other product being pulled off the shelf and that is absolutely not the intent," Gabriel said in a statement to NBC."The idea here is for these companies to make minor modifications to their recipes so that these products don’t include dangerous and toxic chemicals."
AB 418 has support from the Environmental Working Group, an advocacy organization that works to remove toxic chemicals from the food supply.
