(Breitbart)—Nearly 35 percent of the U.S. food industry has committed to removing artificial dyes from its products, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said during a press conference this week.
Kennedy spoke upon the announcement from the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA), committing to eliminate artificial food dyes from ice creams.
Working in partnership with U.S. ice cream makers using real milk, they are committing to eliminating artificial dyes. Per the press release:
With this effort, dozens of U.S. ice cream companies are pledging to eliminate the use of certified artificial colors Red 3, Red 40, Green 3, Blue 1, Blue 2, Yellow 5, and Yellow 6 from their ice cream and frozen dairy desserts by 2028. The Commitment represents companies making more than 90% of the ice cream volume sold in the United States.
Kennedy praised this decision and said, as a whole, the industry is moving in the right direction.
“I’m particularly happy to be here today, because this is relevant to my favorite food, which is ice cream,” Kennedy said.
