U.S. health officials plan to remove synthetic dyes from foods, advocating natural alternatives to improve public health

U.S. health officials are moving to phase out the use of artificial colors in food, following concerns over their potential health risks. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has proposed new regulations that would ban seven synthetic food dyes, including Red 40, Yellow 5, and Blue 1, which are commonly found in a variety of processed foods and beverages. The decision comes after years of research suggesting that these artificial colors may be linked to hyperactivity in children, as well as other health issues. The FDA's proposal has been met with mixed reactions, with some food manufacturers expressing concerns about the impact on their products, while consumer advocacy groups applaud the move towards more natural and safer food options. The phase-out is expected to be gradual, allowing companies time to reformulate their products and find suitable natural alternatives.
