HR 8687 United States House · 118th Congress

Do or Dye Act

The Do or Dye Act bans specific artificial food color additives from use in food products. It deems Red No. 40, Yellow No. 5, Yellow No. 6, and any substantially similar dyes "unsafe" under federal law, making any food containing them adulterated. This directly affects food manufacturers and producers who currently use these dyes in products like candies, beverages, and processed foods. The bill changes the legal status of these additives, requiring manufacturers to reformulate products to comply with the new ban.
