US EditionDoritos and Cheetos dial back the bright orange in new versions without artificial ingredients
- On Thursday, PepsiCo announced Simply NKD Doritos and Cheetos made without artificial dyes or flavors, available for pre-order now and hitting stores on Dec. 1.
- Amid pressure from federal regulators, PepsiCo offered dye-free options as U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. urges phasing out synthetic dyes next year, while Texas and other states impose artificial-ingredient rules amid parental concerns.
- The new snacks arrive in four flavors: Doritos Simply NKD Nacho Cheese and Cool Ranch, and Cheetos Simply NKD Puffs and Flamin' Hot; images show a pale yellow color, and R&D teams completed reformulation in eight weeks removing additives like disodium inosinate and disodium guanylate.
- PepsiCo emphasized Simply NKD is an additive option while originals stay on shelves, with original Doritos and Cheetos remaining available at the same price.
- Around 40% of PepsiCo's U.S. products contain synthetic dyes, and with peers like Kraft Heinz and General Mills making similar pledges, the move reflects a broader industry shift.
