The state’s legislators aim to dye, in the support of Maha: shots

As a policy consultant to the science center in the public interest, it is also Jensen JoseA job to track the Food Policy Law. But this year it was very difficult to keep up with it. Projectors of all political lines offered Suggestions targeting food additions across many states.

“There are a lot of bills there,” says Jose.

Government policy makers are studying dozens of proposals this year with the aim of limiting the use of artificial coloring and other chemicals, such as preservatives.

State bills differ, but Jose says Most of the proposals Focus on expanding the list of banned oil -based dining colors No. 3, which is already planning the food and medicine management to gradually get rid of.

Many of them include Blue 1, Blue 2, Green 3, Red 40, Yellow 5 or Yellow 6. Some bills seek to regulate other chemicals, such as preservative propyl paraben, or potassium bromns, a chemical added to the flour to enhance the dough.

Some bills have already become law. The laws of the new Arizona and Utah will spend the dyes and some additives of foods that are served in schools. Instead, Texas will require, Warning designations For 44 listed food additions, it is not recommended to determine some components for human consumption by the authorities in Australia, Canada, the European Union and the United Kingdom.

Many other proposals died in the legislative process. But Jose says that the sudden comprehensive enthusiasm for food added organization reflects the consumer’s frustration with the federal inaction and a sudden political embrace of the issue by conservative lawmakers historically resisted the organization.

“The rise of Maha – making America healthy again – maybe one of the most influential topics,” says about the legislative season of the state for this year.

This movement – which was defended by President Trump and the Minister of Health and Humanitarian Services, Robert F. Kennedy Junior – turned the political scene on this issue.

When it comes to food additives, Jose supports getting rid of those associated with health problems. But it also worries that some other Politics positions in Maha goes too far in retracting the non -scientific or false allegations that social media effects repeat.

“When you see Maha, you translate it into things like vaccines, drugs, and Covid, she begins to become a problem,” he says.

Take, for example, some of the proposals that seek to organize seed oils such as soybeans or lower ticks – although there is no evidence that it is a threat to public health.

Some legislation that limits food dyes may not be necessary, and not all of these components are health risks.

It indicates that the food dyes were approved for consumption, many food makers – especially Nestlé, Kraft Heinz, and Kelog (Freut Episode Maker), and the ice cream manufacturer – have already announced plans to remove artificial dyes from the products in response to the consumer request.

Hiite says that the presence of different state rules on food dyes will not work; National brands cannot manage different recipes or packages for different cases. “The supply chain and logistical services have become very difficult when we have specific requirements for the state,” he explains.

For this reason, many experts believe that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will eventually have to decline and create new regulations, so there is a unified national standard, which exceeds its ban on the red number 3 and its request that the industry voluntarily submit other artificial food dyes.

Steve Mandna, president of the Food and Drug Responsise Association, which represents governmental and local membership, says that the most stringent national standard is what some consumers want, and the payment of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) may be the original intention of these government laws.

But even if the new national ban on food dyes comes, Mandernach does not expect artificial dyes that fade from food soon.

He says that manufacturing operations-in addition to consumer expectations of things such as the dignity of pastel chips-green-do not change overnight.

He says: “The belief that all dyes will be outside the food quickly is not true … It will take a long time to achieve this,” he says.
