Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Tuesday will announce the details of a plan to remove petroleum-based synthetic dyes from the U.S. food supply.
Kennedy will be joined by Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary in discussing the proposal, according to an HHS press release.
The FDA has approved 36 food dyes that are commonly used in soda, candy and cereal – among them Red No. 3, Blue No. 1 and Green No. 3.
