McCormick dropping food dyes under pressure from RFK Jr, US regulators
- McCormick, a manufacturer and distributor of spices and flavoring products, is reformulating its products to remove certain ingredients, including food dyes, as announced by CEO Brendan Foley during a Tuesday earnings call.
- This reformulation effort is occurring as the Make America Healthy Again movement gains traction and amid increased scrutiny of food additives by U.S. Regulators and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
- Several states, including California and West Virginia, have already taken legislative action to ban certain food dyes and preservatives in schools or statewide, and in January, the FDA revoked its authorization of Red Dye No. 3 under the former Biden administration.
- According to Foley, McCormick has been working on sodium reduction and is seeing increased reformulation activity across its customer base and in new product development, stating, "We are seeing a tick-up in reformulation activity."
- Kennedy, a long-time proponent of food safety, has instructed FDA officials to explore potential changes to the agency's GRAS standards and told Fox News earlier this month, "We want the dyes out of the food," signaling a broader push for transparency and healthier food options.
