Yesterday Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced that it had sent General Mills a Civil Investigative Demand as part of a new investigation regarding the company’s marketing of its cereal products as “healthy” and a “good source” of vitamins and minerals despite containing what Texas calls “petroleum-based food colorings.”
The announcement alleges, without pointing to evidence, that a host of negative health outcomes can be attributed to these synthetic food colorings and voices support for the Trump administration’s battle against such colorings.
This move follows the Trump administration’s announcement of its planned phase-out of the use of synthetic dyes last month as well as a similar investigation against Kellogg by Texas, which was announced last month.
