The FDA plans to ban six artificial food dyes due to potential health risks, as announced by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy. The decision follows claims from FDA Commissioner Marty Makary about the harms of these dyes, particularly concerning children's health and hyperactivity. However, industry experts argue that these additives are among the most regulated and have a strong safety record. The announcement raises debates about the impact of synthetic dyes on health, harking back to studies linking them to ADHD. Opponents of the ban believe existing evidence does not support its necessity.
We are going to get rid of the dyes,” Kennedy said during a press conference announcing the ban, and “we're going to get rid of every ingredient and additive in food that we can legally address.
Color additives have been rigorously reviewed by global health authorities... with no safety concerns,” stated the International Association of Color Manufacturers, emphasizing their regulated status.
