Kraft Heinz to Remove Artificial Dyes from Food Products over Next Two Years

Ten percent of its products currently contain FD&C color additives

Kraft Heinz announced on Tuesday that it would be removing artificial food dyes from its products within the next two years.

The company said 10 percent of its products currently contain FD&C color additives, which are approved for use in food by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), including brands such as Crystal Light, Jell-O and Kool Aid.

Pedro Navio, North America president at Kraft Heinz, said in a statement that the company removed artificial colors, preservatives and flavors from its Kraft macaroni and cheese in 2016 and that its Heinz tomato ketchup has never had artificial dyes.
