U S move to phase out synthetic food dyes sparks cross border debate
The Trump administration targets Red Dye No 40 Citrus Red No 2 and Orange B amid links to cancer and behavior issues. Canada bans Citrus Red No 2 and Orange B but keeps Red Dyes No 3 and 40 under stricter limits. Health Canada sets Red Dye 40 daily intake at seven mg per kg. Experts warn safety limits may not fully protect vulnerable groups while natural substitutes trade vibrancy for cost and shelf life. The policy shift could ripple through cross border brands and formulations as Ottawa weighs proactive steps. Dr Sylvain Charlebois of Dalhousie weighs in on potential regulatory moves and market impacts. Troy Media
