Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a Democratic presidential candidate, has proposed a ban on certain food dyes and additives, including Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, and titanium dioxide, citing their potential links to health issues like hyperactivity in children and cancer. His proposal has sparked a debate, with some experts and consumer advocacy groups supporting the ban due to the precautionary principle and the need to protect public health, while others, including the food industry, argue that these additives are safe based on current scientific evidence and that a ban could lead to increased costs and limited consumer choices. Kennedy's stance aligns with actions taken by the European Union, which has already banned some of these additives, and reflects growing consumer concerns about the safety of food ingredients.
