Beet juice is a bright dye, but it’s also a food. Some dyes are entirely harmless. I believe the rule they’re talking about affects artificial dyes, not bright dyes, and the headline is mistaken.
For example, some red dyes are sourced from petroleum instead of edible substances.
Harmless by themselves, perhaps, but if they make some ultraprocessed foods more appealing are they entirely harmless? I think it’s fine to make beet juice in the kitchen for our own uses.
Why not disallow all food dye, not just the bright ones?

so are skin creams and lipstick btw and i’m pretty sure these are non-toxic
if you wanna know more, look up “paraffine wax”. it’s literally what skin creams are mostly made of.
Skin safe is not necessarily ingestion safe
