Keeping this in mind, he has introduced a special bill to ban this.
MPs say that the sole purpose of this bill is to free children from harmful foods. These foods contain artificial ingredients like 40 percent red, 1 percent blue and titanium dioxide.
Use of harmful colors in Cheetos and Doritos
Cheetos and Doritos contain 40 percent red, 5 percent yellow, and 6 percent blue. It is expected that after the bill is passed, these harmful items will be banned. Not only this, items like Fruity Pebbles and Froot Loops are made using yellow and red colors as well as blue.
Titanium dioxide is used in soup and cheese brands
According to the Center for Science in the Public Interest, some soup and cheese brands are made using titanium dioxide.
