Wisconsin
Wisconsin may be known for cheese and dairy, but it’s also home to an increasingly vocal community of public health advocates. These groups have been instrumental in pushing lawmakers to examine artificial food additives—particularly those used in sweets and snacks. Skittles often tops the list due to its use of titanium dioxide and synthetic dyes. The state legislature has introduced bills aimed at banning or at least restricting these ingredients, especially in foods marketed to children. Parents, school districts, and wellness organizations have joined the call for change. If passed, the legislation would make it difficult for stores to continue selling Skittles unless the manufacturer offers a reformulated version.
