U.S. Government to Ban Artificial Food Dyes Linked to Health Concerns

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is set to announce a sweeping plan to phase out eight commonly used petroleum-based artificial food dyes in the U.S. food supply. This decision aligns with a broader initiative from the Trump administration aimed at improving public health by removing additives linked to potential health risks, including cancer. The FDA has indicated its intent to support this initiative, which is expected to have significant implications for food and beverage companies, leading to potential product reformulations as consumers and regulators increasingly reject artificial additives. As the campaign for transparency escalates, questions remain about how such changes will impact the food industry and consumer choices.
