Consumer Reports Pushes for Legislation as Companies Lag on Removing Artificial Food Dyes
Consumer Reports has taken action to support state legislation requiring food companies to disclose information about food chemicals, including synthetic dyes. This move comes a year after Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. encouraged companies to voluntarily phase out synthetic dyes, a call that has seen little response from major corporations such as Coca-Cola, Mondelez, and Unilever. Despite promises, these companies have not made significant progress in removing artificial dyes from their products. The legislation, recently approved in New York, aims to increase transparency and consumer awareness regarding the presence of synthetic dyes in food products.
