Abstract

The US Department of Health and Human Services plans to collaborate with food companies to eliminate artificial food dyes, including Red 40, Yellow 5, and Blue 1, by the end of 2026. FDA Commissioner Marty Makary linked synthetic dyes to health issues in children and emphasized the need for change. While some companies have expressed concerns about the cost and feasibility of removing artificial dyes, there is a growing push towards using natural alternatives in food products. Additionally, states like West Virginia and California have passed laws regulating the use of food dyes, further influencing industry practices. [Extracted from the article]
