Jolly Ranchers and Mountain Dew are advertised on TikTok and Instagram but contain products banned in the UK.

    Still not illegal in the UK?

    Also google the things that cause cancer. Anything causes cancer because cancer is just something DNA does. I understand the fear of it and you should avoid things that cause it but your eyeballs aren’t gonna melt.

    The sun causes cancer, sunscreen causes cancer, not enough sun probably causes cancer.

    You’re gonna die one day my friend but it won’t be because of mineral oil.

      I’ve added the previous paragraph.

      If you need more info please read the article.

      In one raid in Burton-upon-Trent, over £300 worth of banned confectionary was found in a local corner shop.

      They included Jolly Ranchers hard sweets containing mineral oil, which if contaminated with other compounds can initiate cancer formations.

        Okay but no UK laws I find list mineral oil as banned. It is liquid parrafin, you can buy that in the UK.
