October 9, 2025 from the Fooddive:
"Food dye manufacturers are suing the state of West Virginia in a bid to overturn a state law that bans artificial colors in food and beverages.
"The International Association of Color Manufacturers argued in an Oct. 6 filing to the U.S. District Court for Southern West Virginia that the state “arbitrarily” bans dyes without scientific evidence, violating U.S. and state constitutions.
"West Virginia enacted legislation earlier this year prohibiting food and beverage companies from selling products with seven synthetic dyes, as well as the preservatives butylated hydroxyanisole and propylparaben, beginning in 2028."
"As of March, 20 states have introduced nearly 40 bills aimed at regulating artificial colors and other food additives, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures."
