I don't know if it's because I don't get out much but I don't even remember Flamin' Hot Cheetos being popular before all the forced memes about them.

There's probably a less toxic red dye that is used everywhere else in the world.

The US is pretty lax on what it allows in food.

This is dumb but reminds me of this shit I used to eat as a kid. It was like a combination of andy capps hot fries/cheese fries and it was so fucking good. But it was like 30% trans fats.

Id still buy it if they existed

Didn't they try banning Skittles for the same thing recently? Then they decided to unban them?

I always hate when it's a ban on an ingredient but gets reported as a ban directed at a specific food.

No. A previous version of the bill banned titanium dioxide as a food additive. They could still make and sell as many Skittles as they want under the bill, they'd just have to use a different formula in California.

Does it really matter what color they are? Red, green, blue, orange, they're cheetos, it's not like you really take a good look at them before chucking them in your mouth.

Sexier (if untrue) story. Plus, some people are just waiting to "eat up" those stories without any reflection.

You can still dye them, just with a natural dye. Beets or tomatoes are an easy sub.

Some flavored water use fruit juice as coloring and flavoring too. Certain brands of chips also use veggies as coloring.

is it because this headphone has the color red on it is it using the same dye??? :O

Any item that has an ingredient that is carcinogenic gets that label slapped on. Whether is plastic, chemical, food additive, etc

It's because the product contains 1 or more chemicals determined to cause cancer and/or reproductive harm (birth defects).

The website on the sticker (https://www.p65warnings.ca.gov/) in the pic explains it all in better detail than any post here can.

The basic thinking behind the label though is that consumers should know if any of the chemicals in a product are harmful or potentially harmful.

Some people DGAF and can simply ignore the label. Some people do care, and can seek out more information from the manufacturer, or avoid the product altogether.

True but you still look at your food and I don't wanna eat something that looks completely bland. The red is a signature look for flamin hot cheetos. If they look like regular cheetos who's gonna buy em? The whole point is they wanna ban them because of the dye. The simple solution is to use a natural dye that doesn't cause cancer. Natural dye 4 is a good replacement.

It never says on the packaging what the harmful chemical(s) is or where it can be found on the product which is the reason no one ever takes those labels seriously.

And it's probably this:
