California becomes first US state to ban 4 potentially harmful chemicals in food

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a landmark law aimed at banning red dye No. 3 and other potentially harmful food additives in consumer goods.

On Saturday, the Golden State became the first in the country to forbid the use of the ingredients found in many popular candies, drinks and more, according to the Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit environmental health organization that cosponsored the law with Consumer Reports.

'Signing this into law is a positive step forward on these four food additives until the United States Food and Drug Administration reviews and establishes national updated safety levels for these additives,' said California Governor Gavin Newsom in a letter to the California State Assembly Saturday.CNN has reached out to the FDA for comment.
