All artificial colors and dyes should be banned until they are proven NOT to cause harm. If these chemicals were derived from petroleum products then they should automatically be banned.
We don’t need to consume derivatives from gasoline.
Ban t.hem all! They cause adhd and learning disabilities Amon many other things! They are banned in Europe so ban them here in the US as well!
Several years ago when my daughter stopped breast feeding, I began using a baby food grinder, no white sugar, no white flour, no white rice, no canned goods with the unlabeled added chemicals, very little white pasta, natural peanut butter, honey, whole wheat, etc. She never had any bottled baby food and it was easy to prepare.

Yes, I agree. We need better, healthier foods across the board. We need healthy snacks, food, and water. We should also be stricter on all food regulations. No more dyes in our food, no more sunflower oils, canola oils, or harmful vegetable cooking oils. Our food products should only contain four ingredients maximum, not 20 or more chemicals like they do today.
Ban all food dies and artificial additives that are deemed harmful to children’s health by independent studies. There’s no reason to have food dies that are known to cause cancer in her children’s food or anyone’s food
I lost to of my daughters to a rare cancers. A year a part from each other. They were tested and found out it was not geneticly related.
There are children that don’t necessarily get a choice. Young children eat what their parents provide for them. If a child is being fed foods with artificial coloring and other non necessary chemicals this can result in all sorts of health issues. Just take away the bad stuff from the foods to give everyone a chance to eat food that doesn’t harm us.
Yes. Please stop the poisoning. It honestly disproportionately affects poorer Americans. Thank you for tackling this
Can we alao add making everything non gmo. GMO food also causes severe health issues and food allergies.

I think we need to go further than dyes. Remove all artificial food dyes, only natural dyes. Remove Azodicarbonamide, rBGH, BHA, BHT, etc. just look at other countries such as Sweden, Spain, Norway and let’s follow their footsteps in providing healthier food for our families

100%. Any chemicals and additives that are banned in other first world countries should most likely be banned in ours or at a minimum they should be looked into

This is not a state issue. Not all states can afford to build manufacturing plant.
I don’t understand why it is even called “food” dye when it is toxic.

It needs banned in MEDICINE. My son got Lymes Disease and HAD to take a medication with red40 and who knows what else. He has awful behavior effects but it was the base medication and they don’t have an alternative. Kids don’t always need colors and flavors to take medicine.
And these companies that already sell products in europe should not get years to make this happen they can start now!

I didn’t read all the other responses so not sure if it was said.
I would include folic acid to this list. 100% lab made, not needed sprayed on foods like all cereal, breads and others.
Also, only 40% of people can digest it, otherwise it causes massive inflammation in the body.

Take it out of makeup as well! There is no reason to use these dyes.
