The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Monday approved the use of a new blue color additive from the gardenia fruit the fourth coloring from natural sources added in the last two months.

The FDA just approved Gardenia (genipin) blue, a natural food dye, for certain foods and drinks. They’re also trying to expedite the ban of Red No. 3 before the January 15, 2027, deadline. Some grocers have already pledged not to sell foods with petroleum-based synthetic food dyes.

(NEXSTAR) — Dozens of companies that make ice cream and frozen dairy desserts announced on Monday that they would remove artificial food dyes from their products by 2028, marking yet another voluntary move away from such food coloring within the food industry.
