I request the honorable president / FDA (Food and Drug Administration) to immediately ban the food color dyes in food/ dental hygiene products or have a warning label on them as soon as possible. 

Most of the synthetic food dyes are made from petroleum, or crude oil. Research has proven that the food color dyes do absolutely nothing to improve the nutritional quality. Scientists have called the food color dyes "rainbow of risks"  which can cause allergic reactions, hyperactivity, and even cancer to a child. Yet these products do not even carry a warning label on its package. A healthier option is to use natural vegetable juice or fruit color juice, instead of using food color dyes.

The surprising fact is that so many parents are buying as a breakfast, beverages, candy, snacks for their children which means they have no idea about the harmful effects of consuming food color. 

Parents should read the ingredients when purchasing any food/ dental hygiene products - RED 3, RED 40, BLUE 1, BLUE 2, GREEN 3, YELLOW 5, YELLOW 6, ORANGE 8. If a package has these ingredients, please do not buy it. European Union requires a warning notice on most dyed foods.
