🚨 Major food industry update: The FDA is phasing out eight synthetic food dyes by 2027 — including Red 40, Yellow 5, and Blue 1 👀

Why it matters: These petroleum-based dyes have been linked to behavioral issues in kids, allergic reactions, and even cancer risks. Some are already banned in cosmetics — and now they’re on the way out of your snacks and drinks too.

Natural swaps like turmeric, fruit extracts and beet extracts are in the future 🌱

Shoutout to the thefoodbabe for leading the charge on all this change! We are so inspired by her persistence through all the challenges and push-back.
