The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is phasing out eight petroleum-based synthetic food dyes from the American food supply, with plans to revoke authorizations for two dyes (Citrus Red 2 and Orange B) and work with industry to eliminate six others (Green No. 3, Red No. 40, Yellow No. 5, Yellow No. 6, Blue No. 1, and Blue No. 2) by the end of 2026, as outlined in a recent announcement. The agency is also requesting companies to remove Red Dye 3 sooner than the previously set deadline.Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Initiating the Process:
The FDA is starting the process of revoking the authorization for Citrus Red 2 and Orange B within the coming months, meaning these dyes will no longer be approved for use in food.
Working with Industry:
The FDA is working with the food industry to voluntarily eliminate the six remaining dyes by the end of 2026.
Natural Alternatives:
The FDA is also authorizing four new natural color additives in the coming weeks and will accelerate the review and approval of other natural options.
Red Dye 3:
While Red Dye 3 was previously banned by the FDA, the agency is now requesting that food companies remove it from their products sooner than the previously set deadline.
Health Concerns:
The FDA's move to phase out these dyes is partly driven by concerns about potential health risks associated with their consumption, particularly in children, according to the New York Post and ABC News.
Industry Response:
Some food companies are already removing artificial dyes from their products, while others are working on reformulating their products to meet the new standards, according to WCVB and ABC News.
