A group representing food coloring companies has sued a host of West Virginia officials in federal court claiming the state’s ban on certain food colors and ingredients violates the state and federal constitutions.

The International Association of Color Manufacturers filed its lawsuit Oct. 6 in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia. The defendants are Department of Health Secretary Arvin Singh, Interim Bureau of Health Commissioner Justin Davis, Superintendent of Schools Michele Blatt and the members of the West Virginia Board of Education.
