Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said in a new interview that he has given food company executives two years to remove Red 40 and other artificial dyes from their products.
“They said it’s going to take us a while. For example, the CEO of Pepsi, which owns Doritos, said ... ‘The consumers like them to be very red, and we have not yet found a vegetable dye that we can match, but we’re going to do it.’ And I said they all have to be out within two years,” Kennedy said in the interview with CBS, which was released on April 9, disclosing details about the meeting for the first time.
