The DeSantis administration tested 46 types of candy and found that more than 60% of them (28) contained elevated arsenic levels that, consumed over time, could put children at an increased risk of cancer
Some of the candies with too much arsenic included:
- SweeTarts Original
- Twizzlers
- Sour Patch Kids
- Tootsie Roll
Some candies that did NOT have elevated arsenic included:
- Hershey Milk Chocolate Bar
- Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
- M&M’s
- Twix
- Milky Way.
