Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., has announced the Food and Drug Administration’s intent to phase out the use of petroleum-based synthetic dyes in the nation’s food supply - and its coloring used in many common foods.
The Trump administration says the move to eliminate synthetic dyes from the food supply by the end of next year could mark a “major step forward” in the drive to “Make America Healthy Again.” The ban would impact products such as breakfast cereals, candy and snacks. The dyes been tied to neurological problems in some children.
