Two major food companies have announced that they will be nixing artificial dyes from their U.S. products in two years.
Starting in 2027, The Kraft Heinz Company will halt the production of any new products in the United States that contain artificial dyes and will remove dyes from its products, according to Agri-Pulse. General Mills announced that it will remove the artificial dyes from its cereals and foods served in schools by the summer of 2026, according to AP News.
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic (FD&C) colors are synthetic additives approved by the FDA. Kraft Heinz has said many of its products continue to use FD&C colors in its beverages and desserts.
