The U.S. government is planning to phase out eight commonly used food dyes from the food supply, according to reports. This initiative, part of a broader ‘transparency campaign,’ aims to remove artificial food dyes linked to health concerns. The move comes as food and beverage companies increasingly overhaul their brands in response to growing consumer demand for transparency and healthier options. While some studies suggest potential risks associated with certain food additives, others argue that more research is needed to fully understand their impact. The decision reflects a growing trend toward natural ingredients and increased scrutiny of synthetic components in food products. — new from The New York Times
