Popular candy maker pushes back on RFK Jr's MAHA initiative to ban synthetic food dyes

While several major food manufacturers have jumped on board with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s efforts to eliminate synthetic food dyes from products nationwide, certain candy makers appear to be less enthused by the proposal. 

After Kennedy announced a campaign to go after synthetic food dyes in April, many major food manufacturers, such as Nestle, ConAgra, Kraft Heinz, General Mills and PepsiCo, agreed to voluntarily commit to ending the use of petroleum-based synthetic dyes in their products.
