Kraft Heinz to Remove Artificial Dyes from U.S. Products by End of 2027 in Response to RFK Jr.’s Demands
- On Tuesday, Kraft Heinz announced it started removing artificial dyes from all its U.S. food products and will stop launching new items with these colors.
- This decision follows an April FDA plan and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s efforts to phase out petroleum-based synthetic food dyes by the end of 2026.
- About 90% of Kraft Heinz's U.S. products already use natural or no colors, and the company will remove dyes where replacements exist or redesign products otherwise.
- President Pedro Navio emphasized the company’s commitment to delivering wholesome, reasonably priced, and flavorful products to American consumers, a responsibility they regard with great seriousness.
- Kraft Heinz aims to complete dye removal by the end of 2027, signaling a broader industry shift driven by consumer health concerns and regulatory pressure.
