California has become the first U.S. state to outlaw the use of four potentially harmful food additives that have been linked to several diseases.
Over 3,000 foods use red dye 3, 204 use potassium bromate, 89 use brominated vegetable oil, and 52 use propylparaben, according to the Environmental Working Group’s Eat Well Guide.Propylparaben Potassium bromate Brominated vegetable oil The U.S. Food and Drug Administration banned red dye 3 from being used in cosmetics in 1990 over a potential cancer link, but hasn’t banned its use in food.
Products with these four additives, which are already banned in several other countries in the European Union, Canada and Australia, will not come off the shelves immediately. The law doesn’t go into effect until 2027, which should give companies ample time to adapt to the new rules, California Gov. Gavin Newsom said.
