A candy company has removed an ingredient from its popular and colorful rainbow cakes.
Skittles, owned by Mars Wrigley, will no longer be done with titanium dioxide.
A spokesman for Mars Wrigley, who is located in New Jersey, confirmed to the Fox News Digital this week that the company has removed Titan’s dioxide from its Skittles wallet in the United States.
Titan dioxide is an addition that is commonly used to make the food look white and darker.
The Make America Commission Healthy Again, chaired by the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the US Human Robert F. Kennedy Jr., released a report last Thursday, evaluating chronic diseases, especially those suffered by children.
The report listed the potential concern additives, including titanium dioxide.
Said the additive is “widely used in a range of sweets and sauces [and] can cause cellular damage and DNA. “
“Our quality commitment is what has enabled Mars to enjoy by consumers for more than a century, and nothing is more important than the safety of our products,” March Wrigley spokesman told the Fox News Digital.
“All our products are safe to enjoy and meet the high standards and applicable regulations set by food safety authorities all over the world, and this is something we will never compromise.”
There are 4,362 candy that contain titanium dioxide, according to a search of the food and US food website (FDA) Central Central.
The European Union banned the addition in 2022 following a report by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) which showed genotoxicity.
“Genotoxicity refers to the ability of a chemical substance to damage DNA, cell genetic material,” the EFSA ratio noted.
Experimental studies of drowning of animal dioxide from the National Institute for Safety and Health at Work found that the substance was a “potential carcinogen for humans”.
