Two Food Giants Finally Pledge To Remove Artificial Dyes

Go to Article

We have General Mills making headlines, stating they’re going to remove artificial dyes.

Curious thing, it comes the same day as Heinz making the same announcement.

(What are the chances? Did the CEOs have a chat and plan this?)

The plan for General Mills is to have it out of all their food in 2 & 1/2 years.

Great start!

But if they think we’re gonna stop there, they’re wrong.

A lot of our food has already been sprayed with poisonous pesticide while it was growing in the fields, whether it has color added to it or not.

There needs to be a mandate for companies to use only organic ingredients, like mankind has had for ages before Big Chemical, like RoundUp (Monsanto) showed up.

Make food organic again.

Fox News reports:

General Mills is the latest U.S. food giant pledging to remove FD&C artificial dyes from its portfolio of products within the next two years amid calls from the Trump administration to eliminate artificial colors from the nation’s food supply.

For its part, the Minnesota-based food giant said it plans to remove artificial colors from all its U.S. cereals and all K-12 school foods by the summer of 2026. It will simultaneously work to remove the colors from its full U.S. retail portfolio by the end of 2027.

The company said the change, however, will only impact a small portion of its General Mills’ K-12 school portfolio, given that most of its school offerings today are made without certified colors. Additionally, General Mills said 85% of its U.S. retail portfolio is currently made without color additives.

“Today, the vast majority of our foods are made without certified colors and we’re working to ensure that will soon apply to our full portfolio,” CEO Jeff Harmening said in a statement.

General Mills announced its plans the same day Kraft Heinz issued its own commitment to remove all artificial dyes from its U.S. portfolio by the end of 2027.

Both companies followed McCormick, which already told analysts during its earnings call in March that it has been working with restaurants and foodmakers to reformulate products to remove certain ingredients like food dyes.

The artifical dyes are commonly known as FD&C colors, and labeled as such on packages, because the color additive is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in food, drugs, and cosmetics and are subject to a strict system of approval under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act).

Remember, in Europe they only have 400 ingredients.

In America, we have 10,000, thanks to chemicals.

And Monsanto is pushing back against people noticing that glyphosate is most likely the reason people are “allergic” to certain foods.
