US EditionIce Cream Giants Commit to Nix Artificial Dyes by 2028, Federal Health Officials Say
UNITED STATES, JUL 15 – About 40 U.S. ice cream makers representing 90% of supply will remove seven petroleum-based dyes by 2028 due to health concerns, officials said.
- On Monday, ice cream makers representing about 90% of the U.S. supply pledged to remove seven petroleum-based dyes by 2028, federal health officials said.
- Amid safety concerns, health advocates cited mixed neurobehavioral studies, while the Food and Drug Administration said approved dyes cause no adverse effects in most children.
- The colors targeted include Red 3, Red 40, Green 3, Blue 1, Blue 2, Yellow 5 and Yellow 6, and the average American consumes about 4 gallons of ice cream annually, the International Dairy Foods Association noted.
- U.S. Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary called it `This is a Renaissance moment for health in America`, noting it reflects the latest voluntary effort heeding calls from the Trump administration.
- On the horizon, Marty Makary hinted new federal dietary guidelines expected later this year will challenge established links between saturated fat and heart disease, ending `a 70-year demonization of natural saturated fat`.
