The European Union has banned titanium dioxide, and Mars said it was phasing it out in 2016, but it's still found in Skittles.
Mars, Inc., the candy company behind iconic brands including Skittles, is facing a class-action lawsuit filed in California that alleges it violated three consumer laws, including that the colorful sweets contains a toxin considered “unfit for human consumption.”
In October 2016, Jaydee Hanson of the Center for Food Safety seemed to confirm Mars’ position on taking steps to remove toxins, including titanium dioxide, from its products. What is Titanium Dioxide? Titanium dioxide is a chemical compound used in a variety of products because of its ability to give colors a higher level of opacity and brightness, according to ChemicalSafetyFacts.org, an online resource run by the American Chemistry Council. Consumers can find this compound in sunscreens, cosmetics, paints, toothpastes and more.
“While we do not comment on pending litigation, our use of titanium dioxide complies with FDA regulations,” a Mars statement sent to The Washington Post reads. As a result of those decisions, the plaintiff in this lawsuit says that the candy maker’s use of titanium dioxide and how it prints its labels results in fraudulent business practices.
