RFK: 8 artificial dyes to be eliminated from food

U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said the banning of more than half a dozen synthetic food dyes is just the beginning as he works to confront America’s chronic health crisis. "We're going to do real science, and we're gonna do science precisely on the issues that American[s] care about. Making sure their kids are getting food that isn't poison. The food our kids are eating today is not really food. It's food-like substances," he said on "Jesse Watters Primetime." RFK Jr., alongside National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Marty Makary, announced Tuesday in Washington, D.C., plans to phase out petroleum-based synthetic dyes in the nation's food supply.
