FDA admits weak enforcement of artificial color labeling
In Washington, FDA official Pat Adamo acknowledged that a law requiring declaration of artificial food colors is infrequently enforced for Florida oranges and red and sweet potatoes. Consumer groups accuse the agency of lax enforcement, citing cartons labeled color added and questioning the use of artificial colors linked to cancer concerns. The Center for Science in the Public Interest and others pressed the FDA to strengthen labeling and enforcement despite limited inspectors and industry familiarity.
