FDA: Food industry will phase out petroleum-based dyes

Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary outlined a plan that they said will remove petroleum-based dyes from food, a key objective of the Make America Healthy Again movement.

“Nobody wants to eat petroleum, everybody knows that caused health problems,” Kennedy said at a press event on Tuesday. “And so we can act on that now.”
