US EditionExperts discuss health effects of artificial food dyes amid US phase-out efforts
- The U.S. Department of Health and the FDA intend to withdraw approval for the synthetic food color dyes Citrus Red No. 2 and Orange B in the near future.
- This action follows growing evidence of potential health risks linked to synthetic dyes, especially for children's neurodevelopment and allergic reactions.
- The dyes, commonly used in cereal, candy, and yogurt, are petroleum-based and provide no nutritional benefit, prompting the FDA to work with the food industry on elimination.

- The FDA aims to remove six additional synthetic dyes by the end of next year and authorize four natural colorings, reflecting a broader effort to reduce synthetic additives in foods.
