Skittles Banned in California: What You Need to Know

When it comes to candy, there are few that are as iconic and well-loved as Skittles. The colorful candies have been enjoyed by people of all ages for decades. But now, it appears that Skittles may be in trouble in the state of California.

According to a recent report, the California Department of Health has issued a ban on the sale of Skittles in the state. The reason for the ban is that Skittles contain a chemical calledBenzophenone, which has been linked to cancer.

This news has come as a shock to many, as Skittles are one of the most popular candy brands in the world. In addition to being banned in California, it is also likely that Skittles will be removed from store shelves in other states as well.

So what does this mean for those who love Skittles? For now, it looks like they'll have to find their fix elsewhere. But who knows, maybe this news will lead to the creation of a new and improved version of Skittles that is free of Benzophenone.
