U.S. health officials plan to phase out petroleum-based artificial colors in food supply by urging food makers to switch to natural alternatives.
The move aims to boost children's health and target the elimination of synthetic dyes by the end of 2026.
This change will largely rely on voluntary efforts from the food industry, according to Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary.
While no formal ban was promised, the FDA intends to establish standards and timelines for the industry to make the switch.
The FDA currently allows 36 food color additives, including eight synthetic dyes that might be replaced with natural ingredients.
The proposed phase-out received mixed responses from industry groups, with some citing safety of the current chemicals.
Despite health concerns raised by advocates, FDA maintains that approved dyes are safe for most children.
Artificial dyes have been widely used in U.S. foods, but in Europe and Canada, natural substitutes are more commonly used.
Industry groups are expected to negotiate with regulators regarding the proposed changes and revocation of certain dyes.
Health advocates argue that artificial dyes serve no purpose beyond cosmetic and pose health risks to consumers.
The process of removing approved additives typically undergoes public comment and evaluation before final rulemaking procedures.
Several states have passed laws restricting the use of artificial colors in foods, with California and West Virginia leading the way.
