(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) The shift away from synthetic dyes in the US food and beverage industry reveals opportunities for brands to innovate with natural dyes, align with health-conscious consumers, and lead in thought leadership. However, challenges include ensuring natural dye consistency, stability, and managing reformulation costs.

Dublin, Sept. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Hot Topics Case Study: Impact of Synthetic Dye Ban on US Food and Beverage Industry" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets's offering.
The report provides an analysis of the challenges that brands operating in the food and drinks industry in the US may face, as synthetic dyes are phased out. The report provides: introductions to consumer attitudes regarding processed food, familiarity and safety, and the regulatory landscape surrounding artificial dyes; a deep dive into artificial dyes, their usage, and potential alternatives to them; and opportunities for innovation and commanding thought leadership within the field of natural dyes.
Increasing concerns over the safety of artificial colorants-particularly dyes such as Red 3, Yellow 5, and Blue 1-are prompting legislative action and intensifying pressure on federal agencies to reconsider approvals. The report explores how these developments may disrupt current product formulations, create reformulation costs, and alter brand positioning strategies, and suggests alternative additions brands could use. It also analyzes how shifting consumer preferences-particularly among parents and health-conscious buyers-are accelerating demand for naturally-derived color alternatives.
Report Scope
