US EditionTwo More Food Conglomerates Say They’ll Phase Out Artificial Dyes
- Conagra Brands, based in Chicago, plans to eliminate artificial coloring from all of its frozen food products before the end of this year.
- This decision comes amid heightened federal attention, including the January prohibition of the synthetic dye Red 3 and announcements from the Health Secretary and the FDA Commissioner in April outlining plans to phase out synthetic dyes by the end of 2026.
- Conagra intends to cease providing items that contain artificial coloring to schools serving kindergarten through 12th grade starting with the 2026-2027 academic year and plans to eliminate synthetic dyes from all of its products by the end of 2027.
- Many Conagra products already use natural colors like turmeric in Vlasic pickles and annatto in frozen vegetable sides, though some items still contain synthetic dyes such as Red 40 and Yellow 5.
- This move suggests broader food industry reformulations may occur as voluntary FDA efforts and consumer advocacy continue to push for reduced synthetic dye use.
