Dr Detwiler says the worst offending dye in Froot Loops is Red 40, which has been banned in several European countries for its link to hyperactivity and cancer. His comments come off the back of Eva Mendes demanding the removal of ‘harmful’ food dyes in children’s cereals.
Dyes such as red 40 and yellow 5 have been banned in many parts of the world but they continue to persist in US versions.
Kellogg’s promised to remove artificial colors and ingredients from all of its cereals nearly a decade ago by 2018 but has yet to deliver on that promise.
Mendes, who shares two daughters with husband Ryan Gosling, called on Kellogg’s to remove these dyes and urged her 6.6million followers to join a ‘peaceful march to Kellogg’s HQ.’
That protest took place Tuesday outside of the cereal giant’s Michigan headquarters, where dozens of activists delivered a petition with nearly 400,000 signatures.
Mendes wrote on Instagram: ‘I grew up on cereal. I still love it but I won’t eat @kelloggsus anymore after I found out that so many of the ingredients they use here in the US are BANNED in other countries. It contains red 40, yellow 5, blue 1, yellow 6, and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT),
‘Why? Because they’re harmful for children.’
Mendes compared the nutrition labels of Froot Loops in the US and Canada .
