Science group raises concerns over Illinois’ attempt to ban food additives – Center Square

James Coughlin, food toxicology expert with the Institute of Food Technologists, said there should be a uniform set of rules for the entire country. “This patchwork of several states having their own banned additives on a list make it very difficult for food manufacturers to sell things in interstate commerce,” he said. Craig Llewellyn, also with the Institute of Food Technologists, said states should trust the Food and Drug Administration on what additives should be banned.
