If you’ve been keeping up with the latest health trends, you know that synthetic food dyes in processed foods are under scrutiny for their harmful effects, including potential links to cancer and behavioral issues. At AC Kitchen, your go-to for organic home meal delivery in Boston and NYC, we take a different approach. We’re committed to using nature’s vibrant palette to create meals that are as nourishing as they are beautiful.

The Risks of Food Dyes in Everyday Foods

Studies show that artificial food dyes such as Red 40, Yellow 5, and Blue 1 may contribute to hyperactivity in children and, in some cases, increase cancer risks​ OEHHA CSPI. These dyes are common in processed snacks but have no place in a clean, wholesome diet. That’s why we focus on using nutrient-packed alternatives that enhance health while delivering stunning, naturally colored dishes.
