Responding to the FDA Ban, Sweet Candy Factory Leads the Future of Healthy Candy with Natural Colors

​In light of the FDA’s recent decision to phase out petroleum-based artificial food dyes by the end of 2026—including the immediate ban on Citrus Red No. 2 and Orange B—Sweet Candy Factory reaffirms its commitment to health-conscious confectionery. Since our inception, we’ve never utilized these now-prohibited dyes. Our extensive experience exporting to Europe, where such additives have long been restricted, has equipped us with the expertise to craft vibrant, naturally colored candies using plant-based alternatives like beet juice and spirulina. As the U.S. transitions toward cleaner labeling, we’re proud to lead the way in offering safe, naturally colored treats that meet global standards.
