Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced further details Tuesday on his plan to rid the American food supply of food dyes.

The Food and Drug Administration will take steps to eliminate synthetic dyes by the end of 2026, Commissioner Marty Makary said during the press conference.

Petroleum-based artificial colors will be phased out, which will lead to an ingredient overhaul among a litany of U.S. products.
