U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has announced plans to remove eight synthetic food dyes from American products by the end of 2026: Red 3; Red 40; Blue 1; Blue 2; Yellow 5; Yellow 6; and Green 3. These hues can be found on candies, in cereals, and in some sodas. However, these particular dyes have been linked to hyperactivity in children and allergic reactions. Which popular products could soon look or taste different? You might soon see changes in Skittles; Jolly Ranchers; M&M’s; Trix; Sunny D; and even Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, just to name a few. (Food Beast)
