California has become the first state to ban certain food dyes in public schools due to links to hyperactivity and behavioral issues. The ban affects dyes like blue dye No. 1, yellow dye No. 5 and red dye No. 40, found in popular snacks. Research shows a connection between these dyes and poor behavior in kids, although the FDA approves them based on outdated studies. Manufacturers can reformulate products or offer natural alternatives. The hope is that this ban sets a precedent for food safety nationwide.
