“The US food and drug regulator on Friday called the addition of caffeine to children’s foods like chewing gum and jelly beans ‘dangerous’ and warned of a possible crackdown. Food and Drug Administration deputy commissioner Michael Taylor said the rise in such caffeine-added products outside the beverage industry was ‘very disturbing,’ after candy giant Mars Inc. announced a caffeinated version of its Wrigley gum.  That was added last month to a slew of ‘high energy’ foods on the market sporting substantial added caffeine, including pancake syrups, instant oatmeal, waffles, potato chips, marshmallows and sunflower seeds.”
