The Trump administration on Tuesday announced plans to phase out petroleum-based artificial dyes from the nation’s food supply – a step the Department of Health and Human Services deemed a “significant milestone in the administration’s broader initiative to Make America Healthy Again.”

Experts have linked the dyes - which are found in dozens of foods, including cereals and candy - to neurological problems in some children.

In some studies, synthetic food dyes used in the United States have been associated with hyperactivity and behavioral effects in children.
