Two Major United States Food Companies To Remove Artificial Dyes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kraft Heinz announced plans<\/a> this week to eliminate all artificial food dyes from its United States products over the next two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a press release<\/a>, General Mills announced a similar measure, saying they are working to remove certified colors from school foods by summer 2026 and then all foods by the end of 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cAcross the long arc of our history, General Mills has moved quickly to meet evolving consumer needs, and reformulating our product portfolio to remove certified colors is yet another example,\u201d Chairman and CEO Jeff Harmening said in a statement. \u201cToday, the vast majority of our foods are made without certified colors and we\u2019re working to ensure that will soon apply to our full portfolio. Knowing the trust families place in us, we are leading the way on removing certified colors in cereals and K-12 foods by next summer. We\u2019re committed to continuing to make food that tastes great and is accessible to all.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Kraft Heinz<\/a> says it will use plant-based and alternative coloring sources to maintain the visual appeal of its products while improving ingredient transparency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a food company with a 150+ year heritage, we are continuously evolving our recipes, products, and portfolio to deliver superiority to consumers and customers,\u201d Pedro Navio, North America president at Kraft Heinz, said in a statement. \u201cThe vast majority of our products use natural or no colors, and we\u2019ve been on a journey to reduce our use of FD&C colors across the remainder of our portfolio. Above all, we are focused on providing nutritious, affordable, and great-tasting food for Americans and this is a privilege we don\u2019t take lightly.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
