A Skittles lawsuit filed in recent days alleges that the popular candies contain a toxin that makes them not safe to eat.
from the Foreign Agriculture Service within the US Dept. of Agriculture, the EU is banning titanium dioxide as a food additive, a move that began with a six-month phase-out period starting on February 7. After August 7, 2022, a full ban applies.
The Skittles lawsuit, meanwhile, goes on to decry the health problems of titanium dioxide that Skittles maker Mars Inc. has “long known” about. The same chemical is also present in things like paint and plastics. Moreover, the suit states that the company “committed to phasing out” the chemical in 2016 but has not yet fully done so.that Mars issued back in May for candies including Skittles. That action followed the detection of metal in the bags or even inside the candies themselves.
The company didn’t explain the presence of metal in the various candies that are part of the recall . Marsacknowledge that the candies might contain a “very thin metal strand” inside. And that the metal strands can, alternatively, be loose in the bag. A third party manufactured the candies, with Mars distributing them in the US, Canada, and Mexico. Consumers discovered the metal in the products and alerted Mars. That’s what led to the Skittles, Starburst, and Life Savers recall.
Mars has said it’s not aware of any illnesses following the discovery of the metal. But if you have any Skittles, Starburst, and Life Savers supply from the recalled lots, you should not consume them. The company also urges buyers to dispose of the potentially contaminated product, making no mention of refunds. The recalled lots, meanwhile, are below.
