Kraft Heinz Will Remove All FD&C Artificial Dyes From U.S. Products By End Of 2027

Kraft Heinz announced it will eliminate all FD&C artificial dyes from its U.S. products by the end of 2027 and halt the launch of any new products containing them. About 10% of Kraft Heinz’s U.S. products currently contain FD\&C synthetic food dyes. A company spokesperson said the affected brands include Kool-Aid, Crystal Light, MiO, Jell-O, and Jet-Puffed. The company removed artificial colors, preservatives, and flavors from Kraft macaroni and cheese in 2016, and Heinz ketchup has never contained artificial dyes. The decision comes after pressure from the FDA and Health and Human Services to reduce artificial dyes under the Make America Healthy Again initiative.
