Artificial Food Colors Die So Other Lab Ingredients Live
Apr 29, 2025
The FDA and HSC announced they are removing six synthetic food colors from our foods by the end of 2026. It’s a great headline and we hope these bans come into fruition, but there are two items that need to be addressed.
As of today (April 29, 2025), there is no formal agreement between the government and the food industry. This could take a while.
There are 83 unsafe ingredients in US packaged foods - about half of them are banned in other countries. Banning six dyes isn’t going to change the landscape of our food supply.
Big Food is willing to sacrifice a few, to save the many - that is, if they decide to comply since there are no regulations in place. They’ll still use the other 77 lab-created ingredients that make our food addictive, look pretty, and last forever on shelves. But at what cost?
