Look at those eye catchers full of artificial dyes or S.A.Ds as I like to call them.  I cringe when my children ask for these.

Let's not forget about these childhood favorites. In Europe no artificial dyes are allowed in these. Not all kids will show a change in behavior but some will and its very worrisome.

These are those yummy unsuspecting pancake sausages on a stick from Jimmy Dean. There is absolutely no need to add artificial dyes to make these blueberries bluer! 


One of my daughters favorite snacks

Unfortunately not dye-free so these are very limited treats. It shouldn't have to be like that.
