FDA to Ban Petroleum-Based Food Dyes in the U.S.

TL;DR;

The FDA is moving to remove all petroleum-based food dyes in the U.S., establishing a national standard for the food industry to transition to natural alternatives, revoking authorization of synthetic food colorings, and eliminating the remaining six synthetic dyes on the market. This decision follows concerns about the negative health impacts of these dyes, particularly on children, and aims to reduce chronic diseases.
