On April 22, 2025, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., alongside FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, announced a sweeping plan to phase out petroleum-based synthetic food dyes in the U.S. by the end of 2026. Dyes like Red 40, Yellow 5, and Blue 1 – commonly found in cereals, snacks, and kids' drinks – are being linked to behavioral issues in children and long-term health concerns. The FDA’s new initiative urges companies to reformulate using natural alternatives like beet juice and turmeric.
Flavor Seed: Ahead of the Curve
At Flavor Seed, this isn’t a pivot – it’s how we’ve always operated. Our organic seasonings, like Lemon-AID, Rock Yo Taco, and The Godfather, get their vibrant flavors and subtle hues from real herbs and spices – never synthetic dyes or additives.
We’re not just about flavor; we’re about food integrity.
Why Organic Costs More – And Why It’s Worth It
There’s a reason organic seasonings carry a higher price tag. USDA Organic certification requires strict compliance with regulations that go beyond just “natural.” From seed to shelf, our blends are made without synthetic pesticides, GMOs, artificial preservatives, or chemical colorings. Every ingredient is traced and tested to meet USDA guidelines – which means you’re getting the cleanest, most trustworthy version of that flavor.

With the government finally taking a stand against artificial dyes, the food industry is entering a new chapter. At Flavor Seed, we’re already there. So if you’re ready to spice things up without the sketchy stuff, check out our 16 USDA Organic blends and taste what clean food really means.
