What artificial food dye bans mean for your health and fridge
CBSN
Growing concerns about the health effects of food dyes have led to a new West Virginia law banning seven artificial food dyes — but what does this mean for those in other states? And where else are bans in place?
Dr. Céline Gounder, CBS News medical contributor and editor-at-large for public health at KFF Health News, told "CBS Mornings Plus" Wednesday that the impact of West Virginia's move is yet to be seen.
"If this had been California or New York or Texas, that is a different thing, because then you're really having such a big impact on the market. Do manufacturers want to make something different for one state like California versus the rest of the country?" she said. "West Virginia is pretty small, so it's hard to know if this is really just going to mean certain foods just won't be sold in West Virginia, as opposed to separate products being developed for West Virginia."
