Food dye reform has been an area of focus for the Trump administration as part of its Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) initiative, giving momentum to an effort the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had already started by banning Red No. 3 for use in food and ingested drugs. FDA has continued to prioritize this work by taking actions to phase out the use of synthetic dyes and move to natural dyes since calling for these changes earlier this year, as discussed in our previous blog on the related announcement by the administration.
