Skittles Banned in California: A Comprehensive Analysis Introduction In a controversial move, California has banned the use of Red Dye No. 3 in food products. This dye is used to give Skittles their signature red color, so the ban effectively bans the sale of Skittles in California. The ban has been met with mixed reactions. Some people believe that it is a necessary step to protect public health, while others believe that it is an overreaction and will harm businesses and consumers. In this blog post, we will take a comprehensive look at the Skittles ban in California. We will discuss the reasons for the ban, the potential impact on public health, and the economic implications. We will also explore some alternative food coloring options that Skittles could use.
