This bill, known as the "Do or Dye Act," proposes to amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act by classifying food containing certain color additives as adulterated . Specifically, it mandates that starting December 31, 2025, qualified color additives such as Citrus Red No. 2 and Orange B will be deemed unsafe for use in food, rendering any food containing them adulterated. Furthermore, beginning December 31, 2026, the legislation extends this prohibition to a broader category of covered color additives . These covered additives include Red No. 40, Yellow No. 5, Yellow No. 6, Green No. 3, Blue No. 1, and Blue No. 2, along with any substantially similar substances. The bill's enactment would effectively ban the use of these specified artificial colorings in the food supply by their respective deadlines, making any food product containing them illegal.
