Ban Toxic Additives in U.S. Food

Ban Toxic Additives in U.S. Food

Consumer safetyPublic healthKids

Europe bans them. U.S. still serves them (even in school lunches).

Food additives like Red Dye 3, potassium bromate, and brominated vegetable oil are banned in Europe but remain legal in the U.S. They show up in everyday foods, even in school lunches, despite links to health risks.

Why this matters

Independent research links several synthetic additives to cancer risk, endocrine disruption, and behavioral effects in children. States are moving first, national policy is lagging. Families deserve food that meets basic safety standards, especially in schools.
