CNA938 Rewind - U.S FDA to phase out petroleum-based food dyes
The U.S Food and Drug Administration plans to phase out the use of petroleum-based synthetic dyes in the US food supply due to health concerns. The dyes, which give food and drinks brighter colours and make them more appealing, can be found in many candies, cereals, beverages and even in some medications. Andrea Heng and Hairianto Diman look at the viability of this move and how it will impact the sector, with Dr Anneline Padayachee, Scientific consultant of The Food and Nutrition Doctor and Adjunct Senior Lecturer, University of Queensland.
