In a historic move for public health, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., alongside FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary, announced on April 22, 2025 that petroleum-based synthetic food dyes will be phased out nationwide by the end of 2026.

This bold action is part of the "Make America Healthy Again" campaign, focused on protecting the health and future of our children.
🛑 What Dyes Are Being Banned?
The phase-out targets these synthetic dyes:
- Red 40
- Yellow 5
- Yellow 6
- Blue 1
- Blue 2
- Green 3
- Orange B
- Citrus Red 2
These dyes have been linked to hyperactivity, allergies, behavioral issues, asthma, and potential cancer risks — especially in young children.
📅 When Does the Ban Take Effect?
- April 22, 2025 — Announcement of phase-out.
- Immediate Action — Revocation process started for Citrus Red 2 and Orange B.
- December 31, 2026 — Deadline for all synthetic dyes to be removed from food products sold in the U.S.
Manufacturers must fully comply by the end of 2026 or face removal from shelves and potential penalties.
