Skittles just made a major change. Mars Wrigley, the company behind the popular candy, announced it has removed titanium dioxide from Skittles in the U.S. This chemical was used to make colors brighter but has been linked to possible health risks.

A recent report from the Make America Healthy Again Commission raised concerns about food additives like titanium dioxide. It said the ingredient could damage DNA and cells. The European Union banned it in 2022, and now the U.S. is paying closer attention too.

Mars Wrigley says its products are safe and meet all food safety rules. But this change shows growing pressure to remove risky ingredients from food. The FDA lists over 4,000 candies that still contain titanium dioxide, and many people want safer options.
