With technological innovations in industrial foods, food colorings have become part of the formulations of these products, as they have a stimulating effect on the consumer’s appetite. However, its use is surrounded by controversy due to the development of allergies and diseases, such as attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, especially in children. Thus, spurred by potential health effects, coupled with consumer concerns about safety, industry efforts have led to replacement of artificial food colors with natural ones. However, this is not an easy task. Thus, the aim of this study was to carry out a survey of scientific work on the toxicity of artificial dyes and the possible replacement by natural dyes on an industrial scale. To construct this research, a search was carried out for articles and various works published in the area of natural and artificial dyes in the databases, where 40 studies were selected to compose this review. In conclusion, it is noted that despite the food industry’s current preference for artificial colorings, there is a high demand for research to transform natural colorings into more stable and low-cost substances, using different sources of raw materials in addition to new technologies and products arising from agro-industrial waste.
