Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Tuesday that the government will phase out all artificial dyes from the food supply by the end of next year. FDA Commissioner Marty Makary said at a news briefing, that the FDA will authorize four new food dyes that are derived from natural sources, in the coming weeks.
The FDA has approved 36 food dyes, nine of which are artificial and made from petroleum. That’s right, I said Petroleum.
The petroleum sourced dyes are the most dangerous and are found in many of the candies and our children’s cereals, as well as many packaged foods, and even some fruits and vegetables.
The other dyes are derived from natural sources, like vegetables.
