Kennedy Jr.&#8217;s goals to swap them out with natural alternatives in the U.S. food supply.<\/p>\n<p>FDA&#8217;s move stops short of the outright ban that had been floated for in Kennedy&#8217;s <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-robert-f-kennedy-make-america-healthy-again\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">&#8220;Make America Healthy Again&#8221;<\/a><\/span> platform from the campaign trail. Instead, it relies on what the Department of Health and Human Services <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hhs.gov\/press-room\/hhs-fda-food-dyes-food.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">said<\/a> was a &#8220;national standard and timeline for the industry&#8221; to voluntarily make the switch.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s start in a friendly way and see if we can do this without any statutory or regulatory changes. But we are exploring every tool in the toolbox to make sure this gets done very quickly,&#8221; FDA Commissioner Marty Makary told reporters at an event to announce the plan.<\/p>\n<p>Makary said he had had &#8220;wonderful meetings with the food industry&#8221; and claimed that they are eager to remove artificial dyes from the food supply.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They want to do it. So why go down a complicated road with Congress when they want to do this,&#8221; Makary said.<\/p>\n<p>The food industry denied that there was a safety concern with artificial dyes, citing past reviews by the FDA and other international authorities, and said that their use is &#8220;essential for consistency, visual appeal, and consumer trust in food products.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Requiring reformulation by the end of 2026 ignores scientific evidence and underestimates the complexity of food production. The process is neither simple nor immediate, and the resulting supply disruptions will limit access to familiar, affordable grocery items,&#8221; the International Association of Color Manufacturers said in a statement after the announcement.<\/p>\n<p>HHS says the FDA will be &#8220;working with industry to eliminate six remaining synthetic food dyes&#8221; and will also be accelerating the review and approval of some new natural color additives.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ending the use of artificial dyes has long been a goal of Kennedy&#8217;s agenda, over concerns that these colors are inflating the consumption of unhealthy foods and raising the risk of potentially worrying behavioral changes in children, among other risks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why are we taking a gamble? Parents, moms and dads have also tried to raise attention to this issue. Some parents have observed that these chemicals cause hyperactivity and even aggressive behavior, and that it subsides when the chemicals are removed from the diet,&#8221; said Makary.<\/p>\n<p>Makary said that the scientific community &#8220;has conducted a number of studies raising concerns about the correlation&#8221; between synthetic dyes derived from petroleum and health conditions like ADHD, obesity, stomach or digestive issues and allergies.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Other studies have found that artificial colors that create vibrant colors mess with the child&#8217;s developing brain to make ultra-processed foods more attractive, even when the child already feels full,&#8221; said Makary.<\/p>\n<p>Under the Biden administration, the FDA moved to revoke the authorization for one synthetic dye, <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/red-3-fda-ban-food-dye\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Red 3, after studies suggested<\/a><\/span> that the color additive could cause cancer in laboratory animals at high doses.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The food and drug industry has a few years to stop using the food dye completely. Makary said they are asking companies to stop using the dye sooner than the deadlines laid out by the agency under the law, which are as late as 2028 for drugmakers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While FDA officials at the time said the way that Red 3 caused cancer in animals did not apply to humans, officials said their hands were tied by a law called the Delaney Clause that required them to pull any additives from the market shown to cause cancer in animals.<\/p>\n<p>The agency has faced calls for years to pull other <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/food-dye-ban-red-health\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">synthetic food dyes<\/a><\/span> derived from petroleum like <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/what-is-red-dye-40-effects\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Red 40<\/a><\/span>, which is largely absent from food in some other countries.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pressure on the agency has stepped up in recent years, after an influential report by California authorities\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/oehha.ca.gov\/media\/downloads\/risk-assessment\/report\/healthefftsassess041621.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">in 2021<\/a> concluded that synthetic food dyes &#8220;can cause or exacerbate neuro-behavioral problems in some children.&#8221; A handful of <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/west-virginia-food-dye-ban-preservatives-harmful-health-effects\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">states have now moved to ban<\/a><\/span> the use of these synthetic food dyes <a href=\"https:\/\/leginfo.legislature.ca.gov\/faces\/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240AB2316\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">in school meal<\/a> programs.<\/p>\n<p>For years in Europe, companies adding Red 40 and some other synthetic dyes have also had to add a <a href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/legal-content\/EN\/TXT\/HTML\/?uri=CELEX:32008R1333#anx_%C3%82%20V\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">warning label<\/a> to their products saying that they &#8220;may have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, FDA officials had previously said that the data was a far cry from being enough to merit banning the dyes. The agency also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/industry\/color-additives\/color-additives-and-cosmetics-fact-sheet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">closely oversees<\/a> the production of synthetic food dyes, checking for impurities that might result in a safety risk.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Makary said Tuesday&#8217;s announcement calling for food companies to stop using the artificial dyes &#8220;fulfills the administration&#8217;s promise to use both gold-standard science and common sense.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For the last 50 years, we have been running one of the largest uncontrolled scientific experiments in the world, on our nation&#8217;s children, without their consent,&#8221; said Makary.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/alexander-tin\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Alexander  Tin<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Alexander Tin is a digital reporter for CBS News based in the Washington, D.C. bureau.
