PepsiCo is accelerating its transition away from artificial colors, following Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary's announcement that particular food dyes are to be banned.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced Thursday that petroleum-based food dyes will be removed from the U.S. food supply, calling the long-standing use of synthetic chemicals in everyday foods a health crisis for American families. The decision marks a significant milestone in President Donald Trump’s Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) agenda.
