State Ingredient Ban Tracker
US states are banning food additives — synthetic dyes, potassium bromate, propylparaben, titanium dioxide and more — with different scopes, channels, and effective dates in every state. Some bans apply only to school food, some are enjoined in court, and some are still pending bills. This tracker follows every measure, with the primary source for each fact, and is kept current weekly.
