Synthetic Food Dyes Are Being Banned — Why Sawyer Supplements Is the Clean Gummy Manufacturer
On April 22, 2025, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and FDA Commissioner Marty Makary jointly announced a landmark decision: by the end of 2026, eight synthetic food dyes—including Red 40, Yellow 5, and Blue 1—will be banned from consumer products such as gummies, supplements, beverages, and snacks.
This bold move is driven by growing scientific evidence linking synthetic dyes to behavioral issues, allergic reactions, and long-term health risks. With clean-label expectations rising among consumers, brands now face urgent pressure to reformulate or risk being banned from natural retailers and clean-product marketplaces.
✅ Sawyer Supplements: Leading the Clean Gummy Movement
At Sawyer Supplements, we’ve built our reputation on clean, compliant, and transparent manufacturing practices from day one—so while others scramble to reformulate, our partners are already ahead of the curve.
Here’s why top supplement brands trust Sawyer:
🌿 No Synthetic Dyes — Ever
We never use petroleum-derived dyes. Instead, we color our gummies using plant-based pigments like:
-
Beet juice (rich red)
-
Spirulina (vibrant blue/green)
-
Turmeric and Annatto (bright yellows and oranges)
🍓 Real Flavors From Real Sources
Our natural flavor systems are derived from fruits, botanicals, and essential oils. No artificial aftertastes—just clean, fruity flavor that today’s consumers love.
🛡️ Regulation-Ready & Retail-Approved
All Sawyer Supplements formulations already meet upcoming dye bans, positioning your brand to stay on shelves while others face recalls or reformulation delays.
🧪 Custom Formulation Expertise
Whether you’re launching nootropic gummies, immune support blends, or children’s multivitamins, our R&D team collaborates with you to craft high-performance, clean-label products that don’t compromise on flavor or function.
📦 Scalable, Flexible Production
With low MOQs and agile manufacturing capabilities, we support both startup brands and large-scale operations looking to pivot quickly in response to regulatory change.
Who’s Most at Risk from the Synthetic Dye Ban?
Brands that rely on bright, artificial colors are especially vulnerable, including:
-
Energy and immunity gummies
-
Children’s multivitamins with candy-like visuals
-
Weight management and beauty blends with color-coded SKUs
These products will soon be flagged by retailers and health-conscious consumers alike unless they transition to natural alternatives.
