**Summary:**
The FDA has announced a plan to remove petroleum-based food dyes from the U.S. food supply and medications by the end of 2026. These synthetic dyes, commonly used to color processed foods, have been linked to several health issues, including hyperactivity, obesity, diabetes, and cancer. The FDA's decision is a response to mounting concerns from scientific studies and parents who have observed harmful effects in children. The agency will establish a national standard for replacing synthetic dyes with natural alternatives and will also revoke approval for certain synthetic colors. This move reflects an effort to prioritize children's health and reduce exposure to harmful chemicals.
