Marshmallow Peeps: Parting with Peeps? California considers banning certain chemicals in candy

Marshmallow Peeps may soon need a makeover if the manufacturer wants to continue selling them in California. The traditional Easter treat, along with several other popular candy brands including Skittles, Starburst and Sour Patch Kids, contain chemical additives on a list of ingredients in a ban proposed by state lawmakers.The five chemicals on the list, which include red dye number three and titanium dioxide, are used to add color and texture to candy.They've already been banned in the European Union after some scientific studies showed the chemicals could increase the risk of cancer, damage the reproductive system and cause other health problems.
