California legislators may decide on a bill this week that would ban public schools from offering foods that contain six synthetic dyes as well as titanium dioxide.
If passed, the bill would outlaw schools from serving drinks, foods and snacks made with blue No. 1, blue No. 2, green No. 3, red No. 40, yellow No. 5 and yellow No. 6.
