Breaking news, friend.

Mars, the company that makes Skittles, is facing a lawsuit alleging its use of titanium dioxide makes its product “unfit for human consumption.”

But Skittles is just the tip of the iceberg. An EWG analysis has found titanium dioxide in over 3,000 products, including Sour Patch Kids, Starburst, Hostess Cupcakes and Jell-O.

Multiple alarming studies have found that titanium dioxide can break DNA strands and cause chromosomal damage! Because of these health concerns, the EU decided to BAN titanium dioxide as a food additive earlier this year. Meanwhile, in the U.S., titanium dioxide in food remains completely legal! The FDA hasn’t even reviewed new science on the chemical since 1966. Ridiculous!

EWG is fighting to get harmful additives like titanium dioxide and potassium bromate out of our food, but we need your help to do it. Do you have two minutes before midnight tonight to complete our short survey? Your response will help EWG take a stand against health-harming food additives.

Thanks for standing with us, friend.
