Nestle Says It Will Remove Artificial Dyes From US Foods by 2026
- Nestle announced it will remove synthetic food dyes from all its products by mid-2026, joining other U.S. manufacturers in this effort.
- This decision follows the FDA's January 2025 announcement banning Red 3 nationwide by 2027 due to its cancer risk found in laboratory rats.
- Research led by Elizabeth Dunford analyzing nearly 40,000 products found that around 28% of foods marketed to children contain synthetic dyes and these products have 141% more sugar than those without dyes.
- Dunford advised consumers to watch for seven main dyes, including Red 40 and Yellow 5, and highlighted that front package claims often mislead buyers about synthetic dye presence and healthfulness.
- The removal of synthetic dyes implies increasing regulatory pressure and growing consumer awareness, with implications for reformulation deadlines extending through 2028 for food and drug products.
