Banning Food Dyes & Pope Francis Funeral | Afternoon Update | 4.22.25
The Health and Human Services Secretary plans to direct food manufacturers to phase out eight food dyes from cereals, sports drinks, and other grocery staples by the end of 2026. The directive will affect hundreds of thousands of grocery store items containing the dyes, which health experts have long criticized for potentially causing hyperactivity and other neurobehavioral problems in children.

The eight dyes being targeted include red number 40, yellow number 5, yellow number 6, blue number 1, blue number 2, green number 3, red number 3, and orange B. Food industry experts estimate that the reformulation costs could reach into the billions, though many companies have already developed alternative formulations for the European and Canadian products.
