Cheetos varieties, including the spicy Flamin' Hot version, and other chips like Doritos include red 40, yellow 5 and yellow 6 – all on the list of ingredients that would be banned if the bill is enacted. Here are other foods that include dyes.
Snacks such as Flamin' Hot Cheetos may soon be banned in California schools. A bill proposed in the state assembly seeks remove foods from schools that contain artificial ingredients like red 40, blue 1 and titanium dioxide. Many child-focused foods like chips and cereals contain these ingredients.
Blue 1, red 40, yellow 5 and yellow 6 cause hypersensitivity reactions – an exaggerated immune response to allergens – and rodent studies of yellow 5 were positive for genotoxicity, which cause cell mutations that could lead to cancer, according to NIH. NIH recommended that since these dyes don't improve nutrition of foods, they should be removed. They said, however, more toxicity testing is required.
