“The US will ban eight commonly used artificial food dyes in a bid to help Americans ‘know what’s in their food,’ Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr announced on Tuesday. … The FDA plans to revoke authorisation for food dyes Red No 2 and Orange B ‘within the coming months,’ according to the Department of Health and Human Services. Six remaining synthetic dyes — FD&C Green No 3; FD&C Red No 40; FD&C Yellow No 5; FD&C Yellow No 6; FD&C Blue No 1; and FD&C Blue No 2 — will be removed from the food supply by the end of next year, HHS said.” (04/22/25)
