Illinois bill seeks to ban food additives linked to health issues – Chicago Sun-Times

Senate Bill 2637, introduced by state Sen. Willie Preston and backed by Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias, would ban brominated vegetable oil, potassium bromate, propylparaben and red dye No. 3 — four additives that California outlawed in October. Preston said he’ll amend the bill, which was filed in November, to also ban titanium dioxide from foods and beverages.
