California and New York lawmakers have proposed bills to ban five toxic chemical food additives linked to cancer and behavioral and developmental issues in children.

Jesse Gabriel (D-Woodland Hills), and Buffy Wicks (D-Sacramento), both members of the California Assembly, proposed Assembly Bill AB 418 in February. The bill is co-sponsored by Consumer Reports and the Environmental Working Group (EWG).
