Dozens of ice cream makers pledged on Monday to remove artificial dyes from their products by 2028. The move is the latest voluntary effort by U.S. food manufacturers to heed calls from the Trump administration to remove synthetic dyes over potential health concerns. About 40 makers of ice cream and frozen dairy desserts said they would remove seven petroleum-based dyes from their products. Mixed studies have shown the dyes may cause behavioral problems in some children. One nutritionist notes that all those added sugars and saturated fat commonly found in ice cream mean it should still be eaten in moderation.
