Consumer Reports Warns FDA Policy Change Could Mislead on Food Labels

Consumer Reports Warns FDA Policy Change Could Mislead on Food Labels

Consumer Reports has raised concerns about a new FDA policy that could make food labels like 'no artificial colors' misleading. The policy redefines what constitutes an artificial color, now only excluding FD&C dyes and petroleum-based dyes like Red 40, Yellow 5, and Blue 2. Other synthetic additives, such as titanium dioxide, which is banned in the EU for toxicity concerns, may still be present in products labeled as having no artificial colors. This change could lead to consumer confusion and necessitates more careful scrutiny of ingredient lists by shoppers.
