Health Secretary RFK Jr. and the Trump administration will order a nationwide phase-out of synthetic food dyes.
This starts with a full ban announced Tuesday.
The move targets petroleum-based dyes like Red 3, already banned earlier this year for links to cancer.
The new policy kicks in by 2027 as part of the White House push to “Make America Healthy.”
That should be more than enough time for companies to use healthier alternatives.
But I wonder what Democrats will have to say about this.
“Taking away food dye is…um…the same as taking away freedom!”

New York Post reports:
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the Trump administration plan on ordering manufacturers to cut potentially harmful artificial dyes used in hundreds of food products, federal officials said Monday.
Health and Human Services and the Food and Drug Administration will announce the phase out of petroleum-based synthetic dyes Tuesday in a “major step forward in the Administration’s effort to Make America Healthy,” the agencies said.
The shakeup comes after a commonly used dye known as Red 3 was banned from the nation’s food supply in January under the Biden administration because the FDA said studies found it caused cancer in lab rats. The prohibition is expected to begin in 2027.
Kennedy applauded the ban around the time it was announced and vowed to zero in on the eight additional food dyes still allowed in colorful cereal, drinks and candies.
“I was called a conspiracy theorist because I said that red dye caused cancer,” Kennedy, 71, said during his confirmation hearing. “Now, FDA has acknowledged that and banned it.”
Kennedy also told top executives at large food manufacturing companies in March that he would focus on getting rid of artificial dyes from foods, the New York Times reported last month.
Another win for MAHA!

Countless companies are going to have to look at the recipe for the “food” items they sell.
And most likely will have to go back to formula, starting over, and figure out how to replace these chemicals ingredients once they’re banned.
Big Food isn’t going to be happy about this.
We better keep RFK Jr in our prayers.
RFK Jr. has been a strong advocate for removing dyes from food products, specifically Yellow Dye No. 5 and Red Dye No. 40.
