As a product developer, staying up to date on evolving regulatory changes can be a challenge. An increasing number of U.S states have pending bills banning, restricting, or requiring labeling for certain food additives, including Food, Drug & Cosmetic (FD&C) dyes. Our regulatory experts are keeping a pulse on the latest trends and their implications to keep you informed. Read on for insights from Alex Brewer, Director of Regulatory Affairs, on the latest you need to know regarding the increased scrutiny of synthetic colors.

“If and when these regulations take effect, CPG companies using those colors will need to reformulate their products to eliminate Red 3 along with other synthetic dyes (Blue 1, Blue 2, Green 3, Red 40, Yellow 5 and Yellow 6). Renovation will likely be a focus for manufacturers over the next few years to meet the deadlines of the bans.”
