Numerous popular American fizzy drinks and sweets have been banned in the UK as they were found to contain hazardous chemicals. The Chartered Trading Standards Institute, a consumer protection watchdog, uncovered this alarming information in their recent investigation. These banned chemicals have been linked to serious health issues such as cancer, heart problems, and kidney damage. As a result, Manchester City Council has issued an urgent warning to the public about the dangers posed by these banned additives.
The banned products include well-known brands such as Jolly Rancher Hard Candy, Fanta Pineapple, Mtn Dew, Swedish Fish, Prime Hydration, Cheetos Crunchy, and Twizzlers Strawberry Twists and Rainbow Twists. The council has advised anyone who has purchased these products to carefully check the ingredients and ensure they meet the UK guidelines for safety.
These banned chemicals have been found to cause a range of health problems, including hyperactivity, behavioural issues, and organ damage. They can also interfere with insulin response, leading to potential complications for those with diabetes. The banned substances are also known to cause vomiting, diarrhoea, headaches, dizziness, and copper deficiency.
The full list of banned products is quite extensive and includes popular items such as Hostess Twinkies, Jolly Rancher Gummies, Lemonhead Original Candy, Sunny D, Takis Blue Heat, and Prime energy drinks. These products contain chemicals like Yellow 6, also known as sunset yellow or E110, which has been restricted in the UK due to its known link to hyperactivity in children. Furthermore, some of these products also contain EDTA, a preservative that is completely banned in fizzy drinks in the UK due to its association with fertility problems and colon cancer.
In light of these concerning findings, Manchester City Council is taking swift action to protect consumers. The Environmental Health team is working diligently to remove these illegal products from local shops and educate shopkeepers about the dangers they pose. The council is urging the public to report any products containing these banned ingredients to their email address,
[email protected]. They are also advising against purchasing these products, especially for children, until they are deemed safe for consumption. The safety and well-being of the community is of utmost importance, and the council is taking all necessary measures to ensure their protection.
