Consumer Reports Warns FDA Policy May Mislead Food Labeling on Artificial Colors
Consumer Reports has raised concerns about a new FDA policy that could make food labels claiming 'no artificial colors' misleading. The FDA has redefined what constitutes artificial colors, now excluding certain dyes that were previously considered artificial. This change means that products containing synthetic additives like titanium dioxide could still be labeled as having 'no artificial colors.' Consumer advocates worry that this will confuse consumers and complicate their decision-making process when shopping for food. Several states, including California and West Virginia, are taking action by banning certain synthetic dyes in food products.
