Do these dyes also cause problems in skincare and bath products too?
Sounds to me that the FDA refuse to even label, let alone ban, certain food dyes probably because of pressure from food dye companies. A bit like all the unnecessary sugar hidden in food – it all comes down to money for the manufacturers. Why else would the FDA ignore the fact that the UK & Europe label food and have banned certain colours?
Here in the UK, in the American foods section of larger stores, every imported item has a UK standard nutritional label slapped over the US one and most of the items have warnings about the colours and GMO.
Breakfast cereals like Lucky Charms are not supposed to be marketed here as breakfast cereal but as sweets (candy) because the 40% sugar content is legally too high to be classed as breakfast cereal.
It is shocking to see the total disregard for the US people’s health by the FDA and US government by allowing all this absolute junk food to continue to be sold without warnings and with so much unnecessary, mostly hidden, added sugar. You have my sympathies.
