Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has issued an ultimatum to food companies to eliminate artificial dyes from their products. Kennedy, in his role as Health and Human Services Secretary, has directed the FDA to explore rulemaking to remove the pathway for companies to self-affirm that food ingredients are safe. This move comes amidst growing concerns over the safety and health impacts of artificial additives in food. Bloomberg and other sources report that Kennedy is urging a swift transition towards more natural food coloring options, potentially impacting major food producers.
