The food industry is now whining that they can't make natural dyes fast enough to change over from synthetic dyes by the FDA deadline is just more delaying tactics. They claim that if they don't dye food, then consumers won't think that food is edible. If an ultraprocessed food isn't palatable because it isn't a pretty enough color - it probably shouldn't be eaten. There is no reason to dye food. It is not necessary and it is not healthy to promote binge eating. Even natural dyes in ultraprocessed foods are a bad idea. The food industry needs to do right by the public and get rid of food dyes, all food dyes. Stop wasting everyone's time and health.
