Welcome to Food Safety in Minute.
What do cereals, snack foods, candy, olives, soda and even some yogurts have in common? Many contain petroleum-based synthetic food dyes. On April 22nd, the United States Department of Health and Human Services and the Food and Drug Administration announced plans to phase out petroleum-based synthetic food dyes.  
Food processors are working with Federal agencies to re-formulate food products with natural alternatives. The alternatives include calcium phosphate used in ready-to-eat chicken products, white candy melts, and sugar on coated candies. Galdieria extract blue, gardenia blue, and butterfly pea flower may be approved for use, soon. 
In the future, look for the establishment of national standards with a timeline, as well as authorization of new natural color additives. 
Thanks for listening, I’m Susie Craig from Washington State University Extension.

FSM 340: Phase Out of Petroleum-Based Synthetic Food Dyes

This week on Green Street, Patti and Doug talk about startup companies pushing recycling of spent nuclear fuel to power next generation power plants, and the Supreme Court's decision to allow giant multinational mining companies to take over sacred land belonging to Apache tribes. Then nutritionist and author Dr. Marion Nestle talks about our food supply, what's wrong with it, and how campaign reform is absolutely required if we're ever going to fix it. 

The Politics of Food with Dr. Marion Nestle

Pink Sheet Executive Editor Derrick Gingery, Senior Writer Sarah Karlin-Smith, Senior Editor Sue Sutter and Editor-in-Chief Nielsen Hobbs discuss why seemingly routine comments from Vinay Prasad, director of the US Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, that he would stay away from daily review decisions were notable (:26), as well as the impact of proposed FDA budget cuts by the White House and the House of Representatives (17:16).

Drug Fix: Prasad Staying Out Of Application Reviews, US FDA Proposed Budget Cuts

6. juunil toimunud Facebooki otsesaates võtsime nagu ikka ette päevakajalised teemad ning taaskord mõtisklesime ka hirmu-uudiste fenomeni üle.

 

Ei saanud me üle ega ümber ka FDA poolt värskelt heaks kiidetud koroonavaktsiinist, kloonidest, laksu all olevast Elon Muskist, koolilaste vanema loata vaktsineerimise plaanist ja Rootsi vangide siia toomisest.

PS. Hirmu-sõltuvusest aitab väga hästi jagu saada Telegrami väljakutse “Kõik, mis sa pead teadma!”: https://valjakutse.telegram.ee/

Former FDA Commissioner Robert Califf returns to the show for an in-depth discussion on the integration of artificial intelligence into regulatory processes, including how AI is currently being used—and should be used—in drug and medical device approvals, the detection and review of fraudulent data, and clinical decision support systems. He also explores the boundaries between algorithmic automation and human judgment, emphasizing the importance of maintaining transparency, accountability, and trust in an increasingly data-driven regulatory landscape.

Long Covid Under Trump w/ Sick Times (06/26/25)

In today’s episode of the HEAL Security Dispatch, we uncover a series of critical cybersecurity developments impacting infrastructure, healthcare, and the digital workplace. Cisco rushes to patch two maximum-severity flaws in its Identity Services Engine, while a newly discovered FileFix technique exploits Windows File Explorer to deliver stealthy payloads. The FDA urges medical manufacturers to adopt secure-by-design practices amid growing threats to patient safety, and cloud repatriation gains momentum as organizations seek control over costs and compliance. Meanwhile, a ransomware attack linked to a patient’s death shakes the UK’s NHS, Microsoft resolves Outlook crashes plaguing users across Office channels, and UK retailer Iceland draws scrutiny for deploying AI-powered facial recognition to curb store theft.

Stay tuned as we break down the risks, responses, and ripple effects shaping today’s cyber landscape.
