The ban may affect food products nationwide“We don’t need these risky additives in our food supply,” said Lisa Lefferts, a scientist and consultant to the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), which has long opposed the use of many chemicals in the food supply. “This is good news, not just for California but for the entire country.”She was referring to the likelihood that California’s action will have an effect on food products nationwide, since food manufacturers are not expected to produce two different varieties of their products — one recipe for California and another for everywhere else — especially since they have more than three years to change their ingredients.

We know it can be done because they’ve already done it in Europe.”
