California Bans 4 Common Food Additives Over Health Concerns
- California has banned Red Dye No. 3, potassium bromate, brominated vegetable oil, and propylparaben, effective January 2027.
- These additives, common in processed foods, have been linked to cancer, reproductive issues, and other health problems.
- New York is considering a similar ban, and the FDA is re-evaluating some of the additives.
- The law gives food companies time to reformulate recipes without the banned ingredients.
- Experts recommend choosing fresh, unprocessed foods and reading labels to avoid risky additives.
