Ban synthetic food dyes
Education

Public education and labeling

Make dye exposure visible to consumers and normalize dye-free defaults in kids’ products.

Turn concern about synthetic dyes into practical, repeatable action by making exposure easier to understand and dye-free choices easier to make. This strategy focuses on clear education and transparency so families, schools, and advocates can push for safer defaults. It complements policy by building sustained demand for enforceable standards.

Why this works

Builds durable demand; increases compliance pressure.

How Center for Food Safety uses funding

About Education
  1. Create clear explainers and shareable materials that connect synthetic dyes to routine exposure in kids’ foods.
  2. Work with trusted messengers to distribute practical guidance and keep the issue visible.
  3. Normalize dye-free defaults by highlighting what “good” looks like in schools, brands, and procurement.
  4. Provide action pathways that link education to FDA advocacy and school and state policy wins.
  5. Update materials as standards and commitments change so guidance remains accurate.
