Date of Incident: March 18, 2026
On March 18, 2026, a significant food safety incident was reported involving various types of soft drinks. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has identified the presence of artificial food colorings in these beverages, raising concerns regarding their safety and compliance with food regulations.
