In March, West Virginia enacted a law, House Bill 2354 (HB 2354) banning foods containing any one of seven artificial food colors from being sold in the state.

On October 6, the International Association of Color Manufacturers (IACM) filed a lawsuit with the U.S. District Court for Southern West Virginia arguing that the new law is unconstitutional, as it does not provide a scientific basis that the targeted colorants are unsafe, therefore violating equal protection guarantees under the U.S. and state constitutions.

The lawsuit also alleges that the law is “so vague and ambiguous” that it violates constitutional due process protections, and that it operates as an unconstitutional bill of attainder as it singles out for prohibition and criminal sanction the targeted color additives without providing their manufacturers any opportunity to demonstrate that they are not harmful and thus not worthy of criminal penalties.

ICAM says that, if the law is allowed to be enforced, its members (i.e., color additive manufacturers and producers of foods and beverages containing the targeted food dyes) will suffer “irreparable” harm, both economically and through the deprivations of their constitutional protections.

HB 2354 amends the Code of West Virginia, Section 16, Article 7.2 to change the conditions for food adulteration. Now passed, the law considers foods containing red 3, red 40, yellow 5, yellow 6, blue 1, blue 2, or green 3, as well as butylated hydroxyanisole and propylparaben, to be “adulterated,” effectively prohibiting the sale of any such food in the state. If allowed to be enforced, beginning January 2028, the targeted food additives must not be contained in food items for sale in the state.

“MAHA”—A “Pseudoscientific Fad?”

“It appears that HB 2354 is part of a new pseudoscientific fad that seeks to upend decades-long settled science, entirely lacking in any justification,” ICAM’s lawsuit reads. The group cited the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) determinations that the seven targeted food dyes are safe for use, following a “thorough review and testing process” as required by the 1960 Color Additive Amendments.

On the other hand, under the leadership of U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK Jr.), known for his “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) agenda, FDA has turned against synthetic food colorants, announcing in April its initiative to coerce industry into abandoning their use.

The movement to restrict artificial food colorants began years before “MAHA” became a widely known acronym or before the current Administration took office, however, with consumer advocates pushing lawmakers to act against red dye 3 in particular. California was the first state to pass any state food additive ban, which included red dye 3, with the October 2023 California Food Safety Act. 

FDA also revoked its food use authorization for red dye 3 in January 2025, just before the end of the last Administration—although the agency said at the time that the available scientific evidence still points to the safety of red dye 3 as a food additive.

BRIDGEPORT, W.Va (WDTV) – Halloween is coming up which means people everywhere are putting pumpkins outside their house. But the question arises, where can you get these pumpkins?

Pumpkin patches have recently gotten more and more popular and north central West Virginia has seen multiple people take advantage of that.

It’s fall in West Virginia and with that comes pumpkin season. From carving pumpkins for decoration to using them for food and beverage, fall is the season.

With that comes the business of pumpkin patches. Along with the field of pumpkins to pick from, there are typically other activities like a hayride or a corn maze.

Pappy Jacks in Shinnston is in their first year of operation and offer several different things for all attendees to do, including some fun activities for the kids.

“We really felt a need in the Shinnston and surrounding areas to have something for the kids and families to come do and so we try to provide something for the weekend for all families around,” said Chad Pill, owner of Pappy Jacks.

While the pumpkin patches don’t open until September, the setup for them starts long before that. Pappy Jacks began their preparation months in advance.

Poplar Island in Fairmont is in their fourth year of operation and their preparation has turned into a year around process.

“The process is all year long,” said Frankie Delapas, co-owner of Poplar Island. “We might get a little bit of a break in January but then we’re back at it. But, there’s a lot of preparation that goes into the corn maze, the hayride, and of course the pumpkins it’s just a year long process.”

Poplar Island offers a corn maze and even a haunted trail, where you might run into mothman.

The patch has a hayride of their own as well where you’ll be accompanied by the mascot, Jack the rescue dog.

Some patches in the area even offer a petting zoo, which is what The Patch at the Harvest Festival was offering on their last day of operation.

The Harvest Festival began as just a small thing for close friends and family, but has slowly grown bigger and bigger, with over 800 people attending on Saturday.

“This is our sixth year,” said Morgan Norman, owner of The Patch. “The first year was really small, it was during covid and we just did family and close friends and then it has escalated every year. Yesterday we had about 800 people come through so it has gotten to be pretty big.”

While today may have been the last day of the harvest festival, time to get a pumpkin has not run out.

Both Pappy Jacks and Poplar Island will remain open every weekend until November 2.
