Many U.S. ice cream producers to phase out artificial food dyes by 2028
UNITED STATES, JUL 14 – About 40 ice cream producers representing over 90% of U.S. sales vow to remove seven artificial colors from products made with real milk by the end of 2027.
- Approximately 40 U.S. manufacturers of frozen dairy treats have committed to eliminating seven synthetic petroleum-derived color additives from their products by 2028.
- Following advocacy by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., ice cream manufacturers have committed to voluntarily phasing out synthetic dyes in response to appeals from the Trump administration.
- Leading companies such as Nestle, General Mills, and Kraft Heinz have announced plans to eliminate seven synthetic dyes—including multiple red, green, blue, and yellow color additives—from their products by 2028.
- FDA Commissioner Marty Makary called this 'a Renaissance moment for health in America' while experts cautioned that removing dyes alone won't eliminate larger contributors to chronic disease like added sugars and saturated fat.
- The decision implies a significant shift in the food industry, yet experts and advocates warn that relying on voluntary action may not ensure full compliance by 2028.
