SACRAMENTO Dr. Mark Horton, director of the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), today warned consumers not to eat Bibi Rainbow Chewing Gum Confection, Tamanzela candies and Tarritos candies, which are imported from Mexico, after tests by CDPH found levels of lead that could cause health problems. Eating lead-contaminated candy is particularly harmful to infants, young children and pregnant women.
Lead exposure, both short and long term, can be toxic, especially for infants, young children and pregnant women, Horton said. Todays warning is part of our ongoing efforts to ensure the safety of foods sold in California.
