Lawsuit: Skittles Contains a ‘Known Toxin,’ ‘Unfit for Consumption’ https://www.breitbart.com/health/2022/0 ... nsumption/
A lawsuit against Mars Inc. claims its Skittles product contains a “known toxin” and is “unfit for consumption.”
Attorneys for consumer Jenile Thames filed the class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in Oakland, claiming that Skittles contains “heightened levels” of titanium dioxide — which is used for food coloring.
The lawsuit alleges that although Mars Inc. declared in 2016 that they were committed to “phasing out” titanium dioxide from their Skittles product, they have yet to do so.
In a statement provided to TODAY and other media outlets, Mars Inc. stated, “While we do not comment on pending litigation, our use of titanium dioxide complies with FDA regulations.”
The lawsuit noted that the European Food Safety Authority announced in May 2021 that titanium dioxide “can no longer be considered safe as a food additive” due to “genotoxicity concerns.”
