No, California didn't ban Skittles. Here's what it did ban.

• Skittles won't be banned in California, but some foods might soon have their recipes tweaked.
• Assembly Bill 418 bans some ingredients in food products, but Skittles doesn't contain any of them.
• The confusion stems from an old version of the bill that included titanium dioxide, which is in Skittles.

A new California bill has become widely known as the "Skittles ban," but that unofficial name is misleading — you don't have to worry about your favorite fruit-flavored candy being ripped from your hands.
