The ingredient was removed from all Skittles production at the end of last year , a spokesperson said.

The additive was banned in the European Union in 2022 over concerns that nanoparticles of the substance might accumulate in the body and damage DNA.

The chewy candies still use synthetic dyes including Red 40 , Yellow 5 and Blue 1, according to their labels.
