Ban on Selected Food Dyes: Enhancing Food Safety for Consumers

This act aims to remove certain food color additives deemed unsafe from food products. Starting from late 2025 and 2026, foods containing these additives will be considered adulterated, meaning they cannot be sold. This directly impacts what consumers will find on store shelves, enhancing the safety of consumed food.
